aAnd the heads of the fathers'
households of the family
of the sons
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 leaders
, the heads
of the fathers'
households of the sons
of Israel
,
and they said, "The LORD
commanded
my lord
to give
the land
by lot
to the sons
of Israel
as an inheritance
, and my lord
awas commanded
by the LORD
to give
the inheritance
of Zelophehad
our brother
to his daughters
.
"But if they 1marry one
of the sons
of the other tribes
of the sons
of Israel
, their inheritance
will be withdrawn
from the inheritance
of our fathers
and will be added
to the inheritance
of the tribe
to which
they belong
; thus it will be withdrawn
from our allotted
inheritance
.
"When the ajubilee
of the sons
of Israel
1comes
, then their inheritance
will be added
to the inheritance
of the tribe
to which
they belong
; so their inheritance
will be withdrawn
from the inheritance
of the tribe
of our fathers
."
Then Moses commanded
the sons
of Israel
according
to the 1word
of the LORD
, saying
, "The tribe
of the sons
of Joseph
are right
in their statements
.
" aThis is 1what
the LORD
has commanded
concerning the daughters
of Zelophehad
, saying
, `Let them marry
2whom they wish
; only
they must marry
within the family
of the tribe
of their father
.'
"Thus ano inheritance
of the sons
of Israel
shall 1be transferred
from tribe
to tribe
, for the sons
of Israel
shall each
2hold
to the inheritance
of the tribe
of his fathers
.
" aEvery daughter
who comes
into possession
of an inheritance
of any
tribe
of the sons
of Israel
shall be wife
to one
of the family
of the tribe
of her father
, so
that the sons
of Israel
each
may possess
the inheritance
of his fathers
.
"Thus no inheritance
shall 1be transferred
from one tribe
to another
tribe
, for the tribes
of the sons
of Israel
shall each
2hold
to his own inheritance
."
Just as the LORD
had commanded
Moses
, so
the daughters
of Zelophehad
did
:
aMahlah, Tirzah
, Hoglah
, Milcah
and Noah
, the daughters
of Zelophehad
married
their uncles'
sons
.
They married those from the families
of the sons
of Manasseh
the son
of Joseph
, and their inheritance
1remained
with the tribe
of the family
of their father
.
aThese are the commandments
and the ordinances
which
the LORD
commanded
to the sons
of Israel
through
Moses
in the plains
of Moab
by the Jordan
opposite Jericho
.
