Verse 7 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.

Die Töchter Zelophehads haben recht geredet; du sollst ihnen ein Erbgut unter ihres Vaters Brüdern geben und sollst ihres Vaters Erbe ihnen zuwenden.
Bien dicen las hijas de Salphaad: has de darles posesión de heredad entre los hermanos de su padre; y traspasarás la heredad de su padre a ellas.
«Las hijas de Zelofehad hablan con razón. Sin falta les darás una posesión como heredad entre los hermanos de su padre y traspasarás a ellas la heredad de su padre.
Les filles de Tselophchad ont raison. Tu leur donneras en héritage une possession parmi les frères de leur père, et c'est à elles que tu feras passer l'héritage de leur père.

As filhas de Zelofeade falam o que é justo; certamente lhes darás possessão de herança entre os irmãos de seu pai; e a herança de seu pai farás passar a elas.
