Zelophehad’s Daughters

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:1 - The daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They came forward
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:2 - and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders and the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:3 - “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among Korah’s followers, who banded together against the LORD, but he died for his own sin and left no sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:4 - Why should our father’s name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s relatives.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:5 - So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:6 - and the LORD said to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:7 - “What Zelophehad’s daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance among their father’s relatives and give their father’s inheritance to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:8 - “Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:9 - If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:10 - If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:11 - If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.’ ”

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 27:14 - for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin, both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes.” (These were the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)
