7 “The daughters of Ze·loʹphe·had are speaking right. By all means you should give them the possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father’s brothers, and you must cause their father’s inheritance to pass to them.+

2 and say: “Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land in inheritance by lot+ to the sons of Israel; and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Ze·loʹphe·had our brother to his daughters.+

3 As for Ze·loʹphe·had+ the son of Heʹpher, the son of Gilʹe·ad, the son of Maʹchir, the son of Ma·nasʹseh, he proved to have, not sons, but daughters, and these were the names of his daughters: Mahʹlah and Noah, Hogʹlah, Milʹcah and Tirʹzah.+

15 And Maʹchir himself took a wife for Hupʹpim and for Shupʹpim, and the name of his sister was Maʹa·cah.) And the name of the second was Ze·loʹphe·had,+ but Ze·loʹphe·had came to have daughters.+
