6

“The daughters of Zelophehad are asking for something just. So give them a possession among the kinsmen of their father, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.

And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:

8

When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred to his daughter.

9

If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.

10

But if there were also no brothers, you shall give the inheritance to the brothers of his father.
