³ Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the band of them that banded themselves together against Jehovah in the band of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.

⁴ Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family, because he has no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.

⁵ And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
