Numbers 27:1-5

[1] Then came  the daughters  of Zelophehad,  the son  of Hepher,  the son  of Gilead,  the son  of Machir,  the son  of Manasseh,  of the families  of Manasseh  the son  of Joseph:  and these are the names  of his daughters;  Mahlah,  Noah,  and Hoglah,  and Milcah,  and Tirzah.  [2] And they stood  before  Moses,  and before  Eleazar  the priest,  and before  the princes  and all the congregation,  by the door  of the tabernacle  of the congregation,  saying,  [3] Our father  died  in the wilderness,  and he was not in  the company  of them that gathered themselves together  against the LORD  in the company  of Korah;  but died  in his own sin,  and had no sons.  [4] Why should the name  of our father  be done away  from among  his family,  because he hath no son?  Give  unto us therefore a possession  among  the brethren  of our father.  [5] And Moses  brought  their cause  before  the LORD.
