Numbers 27:4-11 (NKJV)
[4] Why should the name of our father be removed from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.”
[5] So Moses brought their case before the Lord.
[6] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
[7] “The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
[8] And 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] And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the relative closest to him in his family, and he shall possess it.’” And it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
