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:
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.
05 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.
06 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.

07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did
the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and
Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad,
were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
12 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.
13 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.
