'Father's' in the Bible

Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan? Since he had no son, give us property among our father’s brothers.”

“What Zelophehad’s daughters say is correct. You are to give them hereditary property among their father’s brothers and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.

If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

“When a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the Lord or puts herself under an obligation,

Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married cousins on their father’s side.

They married men from the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.
