A Law of Inheritance

Num 27:1Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

Num 27:3

Num 27:3Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of them that gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.

Num 27:4

Num 27:4Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.

Num 27:8

Num 27:9And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

Num 27:10

Num 27:10And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.

Num 27:11

Num 27:11And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

(Deu 31:1–8 )

Num 27:14

Num 27:14because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
