And the daughters of Zelaphead the son of Heber the son of Gilead / the son of Machirthe son of Manasseh / of the kindreds of Manasseh the son of Joseph (whose names were Mahcla / Noah / Hagla / Melcha and Thirza) came & stood before Moses and Eleazer the priest and before the lords & all the multitude in the door of the tabernacle of witness saying: our father dyed in the wilderness / & was not among the company of them that gathered them selves together against the Lord in the congregation of Corah: But dyed in his own sin / and had no sons. Wherefore should the name of our fathers be taken away from among his kindred / because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.
