Numbers 27:1-5

English Standard Version

The Daughters of Zelophehad

27 Then drew near the daughters of ^(A)Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. ²And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, ³“Our father ^(B)died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord ^(C)in the company of Korah, but ^(D)died for his own sin. And he had no sons. ⁴Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? ^(E)Give to us a possession among our father's brothers.”
