Zelophehad

Family: Manasseh · Role: father · First appears: Numbers 26

In Numbers 26, Zelophehad is identified as the son of Hepher and as the father of five daughters rather than sons: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. The record names each daughter as his child: “And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters:”
