Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Contextual Overview

1Then the [five] daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the tribes of Manasseh [who was] the son of Joseph, approached [with a request]. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and all the congregation at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), saying, 3"Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among those who assembled together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died for his own sin [as did all those who rebelled at Kadesh], and he had no sons. 4"Why should the name of our father be removed from his family because he had no son? Give to us a possession (land) among our father's brothers." 5So Moses brought their case before the LORD. 6Then the LORD said to Moses,7"The request of the daughters of Zelophehad is justified. You shall certainly give them a possession as an inheritance among their father's brothers, and you shall transfer their father's inheritance to them. 8"Further, you shall say to the Israelites, 'If a man dies and has no son, you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. 9'If a man has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10'If a man has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
