1 Chronicles 7:15

And Machir took to wife the sister of Huppim and Shuppim, whose sister’s name was Maachah;) and the name of the second was Zelophehad: and Zelophehad had daughters.

The verse stands within the genealogical records extending across 1 Chronicles 5–7. Those records preserve family descent through successive generations. After the exile that preservation established hereditary rights to land and duties in temple service.
