And there was a lot for (A)the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: (B)for the children of [a]Abiezer, the children of Helek, (C)the children of Asriel, the children of Shechem, (D)the children of Hepher, and the children of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

But (E)Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. And they came near before (F)Eleazar the priest, before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, (G)“The Lord commanded Moses to give us an [b]inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore, according to the commandment of the Lord, he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers.
