Targum Bilangan 27:4: Targum Jonathan

לָ֣מָּה יִגָּרַ֤ע שֵׁם־אָבִ֙ינוּ֙ מִתּ֣וֹךְ מִשְׁפַּחְתּ֔וֹ כִּ֛י אֵ֥ין ל֖וֹ בֵּ֑ן תְּנָה־לָּ֣נוּ אֲחֻזָּ֔ה בְּת֖וֹךְ אֲחֵ֥י אָבִֽינוּ׃

Mengapa nama ayah kami harus lenyap dari tengah-tengah kaum keluarganya hanya karena ia tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki? Berikanlah kepada kami tanah milik di antara saudara-saudara ayah kami.”

Targum Jonathan

Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family because he had not a male child? if we are not reckoned as a son, and our mother claim (or observe) the Jebam, our mother will take the portion of our father and of our father's brother. But if we be reckoned as a son, give us an inheritance among our father's brethren.
