NUM 26:33  And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: and the
names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and
Tirzah.  

NUM 27:1  Then came 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 27:2  And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before
the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying,  

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

NUM 27:4  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.  

NUM 27:5  And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.  

NUM 27:6  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  

NUM 27:7  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.  

NUM 36:1  And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the
son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came
near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the
children of Israel:  

NUM 36:2  And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the
LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.  

NUM 36:3  And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the
children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance
of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they
are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.  

NUM 36:4  And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall
their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the
tribe of our fathers.  

NUM 36:5  And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of
the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.  

NUM 36:6  This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters
of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the
family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.  

NUM 36:7  So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from
tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to
the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.  

NUM 36:8  And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the
children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her
father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his
fathers.  

NUM 36:9  Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe;
but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his
own inheritance.  

NUM 36:10  Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 


NUM 36:11  For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters
of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:  

NUM 36:12  And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the
son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of
their father.  

JOS 17:3  But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of
Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names
of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.  

JOS 17:4  And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the
son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us
an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the
LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
