Bible Verses About Fatherless: Daughters of Zelophehad

And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near--and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah--

and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the company, at the opening of the tent of meeting, saying:

`Our father died in the wilderness, and he--he was not in the midst of the company who were met together against Jehovah in the company of Korah, but for his own sin he died, and had no sons;

why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son? give to us a possession in the midst of the brethren of our father;'

and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.
