NUMBERS ยท Chapter 36
36:1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead,
the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of
Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the
chief fathers of the children of Israel:
36:2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for
an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded
by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his
daughters.
36:3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes
of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the
inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the
tribe unto which they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of
our inheritance.
36:4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall
their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe unto which they
are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance
of the tribe of our fathers.
36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word
of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has said well.
36:6 This is the thing which the LORD does command concerning the daughters
of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to
the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove
from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep
himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
36:8 And every daughter, that possesses an inheritance in any tribe
of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the
tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the
inheritance of his fathers.
36:9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another
tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep
himself to his own inheritance.
36:10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters
of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
36:12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh
the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family
of their father.
36:13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains
of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
