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,
The heads of the fathers'
[houses]
of the
family
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 heads of the fathers'
[houses]
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
, Yahweh
commanded my lord to give the land for
inheritance by lot to
the
children
of
Israel:
and
my
lord
was
commanded by
Yahweh
to give the inheritance of Zelophehad
our brother to 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be withdrawn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.
If they be
married
to
any of the sons
of
the [
other ]
tribes of the
children
of
Israel, then
will
their inheritance be taken
away
from the inheritance
of our fathers ,
and will
be
added to the inheritance
of
the
tribe whereunto
they shall
belong:
so will
it
be taken away 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. ”
When the jubilee of
the children
of
Israel
shall
be
, then
will
their inheritance be added to the inheritance
of
the
tribe whereunto
they shall
belong:
so
will
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
.
Moses
commanded
the children
of Israel
according
to
the word
of
Yahweh
, saying,
The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right
.
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
Yahweh
does
command
concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying,
Let
them
be
married
to
whom
they think
best;
only
into
the
family
of the tribe of their father shall
they
be
married
.
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
no inheritance of
the
children
of
Israel remove
from tribe to tribe ;
for
the children
of
Israel
shall
cleave
everyone
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.
Every daughter ,
who possesses an inheritance in
any tribe of the children
of
Israel,
shall
be
wife
to
one
of
the
family
of
the
tribe of her father, that the
children
of
Israel
may
possess 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. ”
So
shall
no inheritance remove
from one tribe to another tribe ;
for
the
tribes
of the
children
of
Israel shall
cleave
everyone
to
his
own
inheritance.
So the daughters of Zelophehad did
as
the
LORD
had
commanded
Moses.
Even
as
Yahweh
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 to 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
.
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 ordinances
which
Yahweh
commanded
by
Moses to
the children
of
Israel
in
the
plains of Moab by the Jordan at
Jericho.
