And the Lord said to Moses, “The daughters of Zelophehad (A)are right. (B)You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them. And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest (C)kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. And it shall be for the people of Israel (D)a statute and rule, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”

and the Lord said to him, “What Zelophehad’s daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance(A) among their father’s relatives and give their father’s inheritance to them.(B)

“Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter. If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. 11 If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law(C) for the Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”
