Context of Numbers 27:12
10And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. 11And if his father have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is nearest to him in his family, and he shall possess it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of right, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
