Zelophehad was a man of Manasseh who died in the wilderness without sons, leaving only five daughters. His case prompted a landmark ruling when his daughters petitioned Moses for an inheritance in the land, establishing that women could inherit if no sons existed. Zelophehad's daughters became models of boldness in seeking justice according to God's law.
