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
:
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
.
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 jubile 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
.
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 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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
Even as the LORD commanded
Moses
, so did
the daughters
of Zelophehad
:
For Mahlah, Tirzah
, and Hoglah
, and Milcah
, and Noah
, the daughters
of Zelophehad
, were married
unto their father's
brothers' sons
:
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 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
.
