King James Version
Now
the family
heads
of the clan
of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, one
of the clans
of Joseph, approached
Moses and the leaders
who
were
the heads
of the Israelite
families
and
addressed
them,
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
spake
before
Moses ,
and before
the princes,
the chief
fathers
of the children
of
Israel:
saying
, “When
the LORD commanded my lord to give the land as
an inheritance to
the
Israelites
by lot ,
He
also
commanded him
to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad
to
his daughters.
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.
But
if they marry
any of the men
from
the other tribes of Israel, their inheritance will
be withdrawn
from the portion
of our fathers and added
to the tribe into
which
they marry.
So our
allotted
inheritance
would
be taken away
.
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 whereunto
they are
received:
so shall
it
be taken from
the
lot
of
our
inheritance
.
And when the Jubilee for
the Israelites
comes
, their inheritance will
be added
to
the tribe into
which
they marry
and
taken away from the tribe of our fathers. ”
And when the jubilee of
the children
of
Israel
shall
be
, then
shall
their inheritance be put
unto
the inheritance
of
the
tribe whereunto
they are
received:
so
shall
their
inheritance
be
taken away from the inheritance
of
the
tribe of our fathers.
So
at
the word of the LORD, Moses
commanded
the
Israelites:
“
The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks
correctly
.
And
Moses
commanded
the children
of
Israel
according
to
the
word of the LORD, saying,
The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath
said
well
.
This is what
the LORD has
commanded
concerning the daughters of Zelophehad :
They
may
marry
anyone
they
please
, provided
they
marry within
a
clan
of the tribe of their father.
This is the thing
which
the
LORD doth
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
.
No
inheritance in
Israel may
be
transferred
from tribe to tribe ,
because
each
of the Israelites
is
to retain
the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
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.
Every daughter who
possesses
an inheritance from
any Israelite
tribe must
marry
within
a
clan
of the tribe of her father, so
that every Israelite
will
possess
the inheritance of his fathers.
And
every daughter ,
that
possesseth
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.
No
inheritance may
be
transferred
from one tribe to another ,
for
each
tribe of Israel must
retain
its
inheritance. ”
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.
So
the
daughters
of
Zelophehad
did
as the LORD had
commanded Moses .
Even
as the LORD commanded Moses ,
so
did
the
daughters
of
Zelophehad:
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to
cousins
on
their father’s
side.
For
Mahlah, Tirzah, and
Hoglah, and
Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto
their father's
brothers'
sons:
They married within
the clans
of the descendants
of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within
the tribe of their father’s
clan
.
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
.
These are the commandments and ordinances
that
the LORD gave
the Israelites
through
Moses on
the plains of Moab by the
Jordan across
from
Jericho.
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.
