Numbers 27:6
4 Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan because he had no sons? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”
5 So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
and the LORD answered him,
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers, and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.
8 Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
