11 And if his father H1 have no brethren, H251 then ye shall give H5414 his inheritance H5159 unto his kinsman H7607 that is next H7138 to him of his family, H4940 and he shall possess H3423 it: and it shall be unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478 a statute H2708 of judgment, H4941 as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses. H4872
So these things shall be for a statute H2708 of judgment H4941 unto you throughout your generations H1755 in all your dwellings. H4186
And he said H559 unto the kinsman, H1350 Naomi, H5281 that is come again H7725 out of the country H7704 of Moab, H4124 selleth H4376 a parcel H2513 of land, H7704 which was our brother H251 Elimelech's: H458 And I thought H559 to advertise H1540 H241 thee, saying, H559 Buy H7069 it before the inhabitants, H3427 and before the elders H2205 of my people. H5971 If thou wilt redeem H1350 it, redeem H1350 it: but if thou wilt not redeem H1350 it, then tell H5046 me, that I may know: H3045 for there is none to redeem H1350 it beside H2108 thee; and I am after H310 thee. And he said, H559 I will redeem H1350 it. Then said H559 Boaz, H1162 What day H3117 thou buyest H7069 the field H7704 of the hand H3027 of Naomi, H5281 thou must buy H7069 it also of Ruth H7327 the Moabitess, H4125 the wife H802 of the dead, H4191 to raise up H6965 the name H8034 of the dead H4191 upon his inheritance. H5159 And the kinsman H1350 said, H559 I cannot H3201 redeem H1350 it for myself, lest I mar H7843 mine own inheritance: H5159 redeem H1350 thou my right H1353 to thyself; for I cannot H3201 redeem H1350 it.
So Hanameel H2601 mine uncle's H1730 son H1121 came H935 to me in the court H2691 of the prison H4307 according to the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 and said H559 unto me, Buy H7069 my field, H7704 I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, H6068 which is in the country H776 of Benjamin: H1144 for the right H4941 of inheritance H3425 is thine, and the redemption H1353 is thine; buy H7069 it for thyself. Then I knew H3045 that this was the word H1697 of the LORD. H3068
If thy brother H251 be waxen poor, H4134 and hath sold H4376 away some of his possession, H272 and if any of his kin H7138 come H935 to redeem H1350 it, then shall he redeem H1350 that which his brother H251 sold. H4465

Commentary on Numbers 27 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 27
Here is,
Num 27:1-11
Mention is made of the case of these daughters of Zelophehad in the chapter before, v. 33. It should seem, by the particular notice taken of it, that it was a singular case, and that the like did not at this time occur in all Israel, that the head of a family had no sons, but daughters only. Their case is again debated (ch. 36) upon another article of it; and, according to the judgments given in their case, we find them put in possession, Jos. 17:3, 4. One would suppose that their personal character was such as added weight to their case, and caused it to be so often taken notice of.
