OET (OET-RV) They approached the priest Eleazar and Yehoshua and the other leaders and said, “Yahweh told Mosheh to give us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So he[fn] gave them an inheritance (like he’d given their uncles), as Yahweh had instructed them.
17:4 It’s not clear who this ‘he’ refers to here—some translations choose Eleazar (implied by the sentence structure) and others choose Yehoshua (implied by past allocations of land).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לָֽתֶת־לָ֥נוּ נַחֲלָ֖ה
to,give to/for=us inheritance
The land is spoken of as if it were an inheritance that the people received as a permanent possession. Alternate translation: “to give to us some land as an inheritance”
וַיִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֜ם & נַֽחֲלָ֔ה
and=he/it_gave to/for=them & inheritance
This could mean: (1) “Joshua gave those women an inheritance” or (2) “Eleazar gave those women an inheritance.”
17:3-6 In ancient Israel, inheritance usually passed from a father to his sons. Without sons, a man’s name could pass into oblivion. However, Zelophehad’s daughters had petitioned Moses, Moses had inquired of God, and God had ruled that they should inherit their father’s portion (see Num 27:1-11). God’s ruling established a general principle, declaring that no family would be excluded from a portion of God’s material blessings.
