Numbers 27:6-11

6Then the Lord said to Moses,

7“The request of the daughters of Zelophehad is justified. You shall certainly give them a possession as an inheritance among their father’s brothers, and you shall transfer their father’s inheritance to them.

8Further, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and has no son, you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

9If a man has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

10If a man has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his own family, and he shall take possession of it. It shall be a statute and ordinance to the Israelites, just as the Lord has commanded Moses.’ ”
