4. And Moses referred their cause to the judgment of the Lord.
5. And the Lord said to him:
6. The daughters of Salphaad demand a just thing: Give them a possession among their father's kindred, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
7. And to the children of Israel thou shalt speak these things:
8. When a man dieth without a son, his inheritance shall pass to his daughter.
9. If he have no daughter, his brethren shall succeed him.
10. And if he have no brethren, you shall give the inheritance to his father's brethren.
11. But if he have no uncles by the father, the inheritance shall be given to them that are the next akin. And this shall be to the children of Israel sacred by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
12. The Lord also said to Moses: Go up into this mountain Abarim, and view from thence the land which I will give to the children of Israel.
