UNumeri 27:1-8

Kwase kusondela amadodakazi kaSelofehadi kaHeferi kaGileyadi kaMakiri kaManase, awemindeni kaManase indodana kaJosefa; lawa angamagama amadodakazi akhe: oMahela, noNowa, noHogila, noMilka, noTirisa. Ema phambi kukaMose naphambi kuka-Eleyazare umpristi, naphambi kwezikhulu, naphambi kwayo yonke inhlangano ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, athi: “Ubaba wafela ehlane; wayengekho phakathi kweviyo labahlanganyela uJehova kulo iviyo likaKora; kepha wafa ngesakhe isono engenamadodana. Igama likababa liyakusulelwani emndenini wakhe, lokhu engenandodana na? Siphe ifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakababa.” UMose wayiletha indaba yawo phambi kukaJehova. UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: “Amadodakazi kaSelofehadi akhulume kahle; uyakuwanika nokuwanika izwe eliyifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakayise ngokulidlulisela kuwo ifa likayise. “Wokhuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngokuthi: ‘Uma umuntu efa engenandodana, wolidlulisela ifa lakhe kuyo indodakazi yakhe.
