Verse 4 is found in chapter 27 of Numbers. The daughters of Zelophehad present a situation not explicitly addressed in previous legislation: their father died without sons. God confirms that their request is legitimate and establishes a succession rule protecting the continuity of the family inheritance. The episode demonstrates that legislation can receive specific application when a new circumstance arises and that land distribution is important for preserving Israelite families.
