Numbers 27:1-14 - Laws Of Inheritance

¹ Then came near the daughters of Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh pertaining to the families of Manasseh, son of Joseph, - these being the names of his daughters, Mahlah Noah and Hoglah and Milcah, and Tirzah. ² So they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the assembly, - at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying: ³ Our father, died in the desert, although, he, was not among the assembly that conspired against Yahweh, in the assembly of Korah, - but, in his own sin, died he; and sons, had he none. ⁴ Wherefore should the name of our father be withdrawn out of the midst of his family, because he had no son? Give ye unto us a possession, ill the midst of the brethren of our father.

⁵ And Moses brought near their cause before Yahweh. ⁷ A right thing, are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking: Thou shalt, surely give, them a possession for an inheritance, in the midst of the brethren of their father, - and shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass over unto them. ⁸ And unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, - When, any man, shall die, having no son, then shall ye cause his inheritance to pass over to his daughter. ⁹ And, if he hath no daughter, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his, brethren. ¹⁰ And if he hath no brethren, then shall ye give his inheritance unto the brethren of his father. ¹¹ And, if his father hath no brethren, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his blood-relation that is near unto him of his family, and he shall possess it, - So shall it serve the sons of Israel as a regulative statute, As Yahweh commanded Moses.

¹² And Yahweh said unto Moses, Go up into this mount of Abarim, - and see, the and which I have given unto the son of Israel; ¹³ And, when thou hast seen it, then shalt thou also be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk, - as Aaron thy brother was withdrawn; ¹⁴ because ye resisted my bidding - in the desert of Zin when the assembly contended, - that ye should hallow me regarding the waters, before their eyes, - the same, were the waters of Meribah, of Kadesh in the desert of Zin.
