Named in 4 chapters

Who is this

Noah was one of the daughters of Zelophehad, a descendant of Manasseh (Numbers 26:33). She had four sisters: Mahlah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah (Numbers 27:1). When their father died without any sons, the daughters of Zelophehad approached Moses and Eleazar the priest, requesting to receive an inheritance among their father's relatives (Numbers 27:1-4). God instructed Moses to grant their request, establishing a legal precedent for daughters to inherit property when there were no sons (Numbers 27:5-11). As a result, Noah and her sisters were given an inheritance among the clans of Manasseh (Joshua 17:3-6).
