Wherefore should the name of our
father's be taken away from among his kindred, because he had no
son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.
And Moses brought their cause before the LORD. And the LORD spake
unto Moses saying: The daughters of Zelaphead speak right: thou
shalt give them a possession to inherit among their father's
brethren, and shalt turn the inheritance of their father unto
them. And speak unto the children of Israel saying: If a man die
and have no son, ye shall turn his inheritance unto his daughter.
If he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance unto his
brethren. If he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance
unto his father's brethren. If he have no father's brethren, ye
shall give his inheritance unto him that is next to him of his
kindred, and let him possess it. And this shall be unto the
children of Israel an ordinance, and a law, as the LORD hath
commanded Moses. And the LORD said unto Moses: get thee up into
this mount Abarim, and behold, the land which I have given unto
the children of Israel. And when thou hast seen it, thou shalt be
gathered unto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered
unto his people. For ye were disobedient unto my mouth in the
desert of Zin in the strife of the congregation, that ye
sanctified me not in the water before their eyes.
