Numbers 27:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² the entrance to the tent of meeting. There they stood in front of Moses and Eleazar the priest. The leaders and the whole community were there too. Zelophehad’s daughters said, ³ “Our father died in the Sinai Desert. But he wasn’t one of the men who followed Korah. He wasn’t one of those who joined together against the Lord. Our father died because of his own sin. He didn’t leave any sons. ⁴ Why should our father’s name disappear from his family just because he didn’t have a son? Give us property among our father’s relatives.”
