Primary Verses:
-
Numbers 27:1-8
-
"Then came the daughters of
Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the
son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of
Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of
his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and
Tirzah. And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar
the priest, and before the princes and all the
congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying, Our father died in the
wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that
gathered themselves together against YHVH in the company
of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons. Why
should the name of our father be done away from among
his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us
therefore a possession among the brethren of our
father. And Moses brought their cause before YHVH. And
YHVH spake unto Moses, saying,
The daughters of
Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a
possession of an inheritance among their father's
brethren; and thou shalt cause the
inheritance of their father to pass unto them. And thou
shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a
man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his
inheritance to pass unto his daughter."
