Zelophehad, a man of Manasseh whose five daughters secured inheritance rights for women in Israel
The name of a Manassite who died in the wilderness leaving no sons, only five daughters — Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Their bold petition before Moses established the legal precedent that daughters may inherit when there is no male heir (Num 27:1–7). The case was significant enough to be revisited in Numbers 36, where tribal land preservation was balanced against the new inheritance right. Zelophehad's daughters became a landmark in biblical jurisprudence.

1. Zelophehad (personal name) — The personal name of a man from the tribe of Manasseh who died without sons during the wilderness period (Num 26:33). His five daughters petitioned Moses for inheritance rights (Num 27:1, 7), and God affirmed their claim, establishing precedent in Israelite law (Num 36:2). The case is one of Scripture's most notable examples of legal innovation prompted by women's advocacy. 11×
