Numbers 27:4-11 ▼

4 “Why should the name of our father be withdrawn from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.”

5 And Moses brought their case before the LORD.

6 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

7 “The daughters of Zelophehad are right in their statements. You shall surely give them a hereditary possession among their father’s brothers, and you shall transfer the inheritance of their father to them.

8 “Further, you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

9 ‘And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

10 ‘And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11 ‘And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his own family, and he shall possess it; and it shall be a statutory ordinance to the sons of Israel, just as the LORD commanded Moses.’”
