Contextual Overview

1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah. 2 They stood in front of Moses and Eleazar the religious leader, and the leaders, and all the people at the door of the meeting tent. The daughters said, 3 "Our father died in the desert. He was not one of those who gathered together with Korah against the Lord. But he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family because he had no son? Give us land among our father's brothers." 5 Moses asked the Lord what should be done. 6 Then the Lord said to Moses, 7 "The daughters of Zelophehad are right in what they say. Be sure to give them their own land among their father's brothers. Give them what would have been given to their father. 8 And say to the people of Israel, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then give what belongs to him to his daughter. 9 If he has no daughter, then give what belongs to him to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers, give what belongs to him to his father's brothers.
