And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
The verse stands within the larger portion running from Numbers 25 through Numbers 27. In the order of inheritance it appoints, when a man dies leaving no daughter, his property is to be given to his brothers. That appointment belongs to laws that safeguard the inheritance rights of women. Taken with its surrounding portion, it calls for submission to the will of God.
