Context of Numbers 27:10

8Tell the Israelites this: “Sometimes a man only has daughters. When he dies, his daughters must receive what belongs to their family. 9If he does not have any sons or daughters, you must give his family's land to his brothers. If he does not have any brothers, you must give his land to his father's brothers. 11Sometimes the man's father may have no brothers. If that happens, you must give his land to another person in his family. This is a rule for all the people.
