This verse continues the inheritance laws, stating that if a man dies without sons or daughters, his property should go to his brothers.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Numbers, the Israelites were receiving laws from God through Moses as they wandered in the wilderness, preparing to settle in the Promised Land. This verse is part of a specific response to the daughters of Zelophehad, who had no brothers and sought their father's inheritance, leading God to establish an order for passing down property to maintain tribal lands. It ensures that if a man has no daughters, his inheritance goes to his brothers to keep the family estate within the immediate lineage.
