Numbers 27:8 in context

The verses around it, from Numbers 27.

4 Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan because he had no sons? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”

5 So Moses brought their case before the LORD,

6 and the LORD answered him,

7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers, and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.

8 Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.

10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11 And if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the next of kin from his clan, that he may take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”

12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.
