names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
26:56 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided
between many and few.
26:57 And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after their
families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath, the
family of the Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
26:58 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites,
the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of
the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.
26:59 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi,
whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and
Moses, and Miriam their sister.
26:60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
26:61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before
the LORD.
26:62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three
thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not
numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance
given them among the children of Israel.
26:63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest,
who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho.

the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the

wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
27:1 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.
27:2 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,
27:3 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.
27:4 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.
27:5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
27:6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give
them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and
thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
27:8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man
die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto
his daughter.
