2. They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
3. "Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin. He had no sons.
4. Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father."
5. Moses brought their cause before The LORD.
6. The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
7. "The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
8. You shall speak to the children of ISRAEL, saying, 'If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9. If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10. If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
11. If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. This shall be a statute and ordinance for the children of ISRAEL, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"
