A little mortar of gold weighing ten sicles full of incense:

And Asriel, of whom is the family of the Asrielites: and Sechem, of whom is the family of the Sechemites:

And Semida, of whom is the family of the Semidaites: and Hepher, of whom is the family of the Hepherites.

The daughters of Salphaad demand a just thing: Give them a possession among their father's kindred, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
