Keeping the inheritance in the tribe

The chief fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, approached and spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the chief fathers of the Israelites. They said: The Lord commanded my lord to give the land by lot as an inheritance to the Israelites. And my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. If they marry any of the sons of the other tribes of the Israelites, then their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and put to the inheritance of the tribe they are taken into. So it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance. When the jubilee of the Israelites comes, then their inheritance will be put to the inheritance of the tribe they are taken into. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. Moses commanded the Israelites at the word of the Lord: The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right. 'This is what the Lord commands about the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whom they think best, but they must marry within the family of their father's tribe.' So the inheritance of the Israelites will not move from tribe to tribe. Because every one of the Israelites will stick to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. Every daughter who owns an inheritance in any tribe of the Israelites will be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father — so the Israelites each keep the inheritance of their fathers. So the inheritance will not move from one tribe to another tribe. But every one of the tribes of the Israelites will stick to his own inheritance. As the Lord commanded Moses, that is what the daughters of Zelophehad did. Because Mahlah, Tirzah and Hoglah and Milcah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons. They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph. And their inheritance stayed in the tribe of the family of their father. These are the commandments and judgments the Lord gave through Moses to the Israelites in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho.

And the chief fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead son of Makir son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke in front of Moses and in front of the leaders, the chief fathers of the people of Israel. And they said: The Lord ordered my lord to give the land by lot as an inheritance to the people of Israel. And my lord was ordered by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. And if they marry any of the sons of the other tribes of the people of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and put to the inheritance of the tribe they're taken into. So it'll be taken from the lot of our inheritance. And when the jubilee of the people of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be put to the inheritance of the tribe they're taken into. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. And Moses ordered the people of Israel at the word of the Lord: The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right. This is the thing the Lord orders about the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry who they think best. Only they'll marry into the family of the tribe of their father. So the inheritance of the people of Israel won't move from tribe to tribe. Because every one of the people of Israel will stick to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. And every daughter who owns an inheritance in any tribe of the people of Israel will be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father — so the people of Israel each keep the inheritance of their fathers. So the inheritance won't move from one tribe to another tribe. But every one of the tribes of the people of Israel will stick to his own inheritance. The way the Lord ordered Moses, that's what the daughters of Zelophehad did. Because Mahlah, Tirzah and Hoglah and Milkah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers' sons. They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph. And their inheritance stayed in the tribe of the family of their father. These are the orders and the judgments the Lord ordered through Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho.

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.
