Numbers 27

The daughters of Zelophehad petition Moses for their father's inheritance since he had no sons; YHWH grants it to them and establishes inheritance laws prioritizing sons, daughters, brothers, uncles, then nearest kin, and appoints Joshua as Moses' successor, laying hands on him before Eleazar and the congregation.[2][3]
