The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, 3“Our father cdied in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord din the company of Korah, but edied for his own sin. And he had no sons. 4Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? fGive to us a possession among our father’s brothers.”
