Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us {therefore} a possession among the brethren of our father. {done...: Heb. diminished}

And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
