1
And the heads of the fathers of◦ the families 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 chiefs, the heads of the fathers of◦ the sons of Israel ;
2
and they said , Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel ; and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters .
3
And if they be for wives to one of the sons of the other tribes ◦ of the sons of Israel , then shall their inheritance be diminished from the inheritance of our fathers , and shall be added over the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be; and it shall be diminished from the lot of our inheritance .
4
And if the jubilee of the sons of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be added over the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be; and their inheritance shall diminish from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers .
5
And Moses commanded the sons of Israel by◦ the mouth of Jehovah , saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken rightly◦.
6
This is the word which Jehovah commands for the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be for wives to whomever is good in their eyes ; but surely to the family of the tribe of their father shall they be for wives .
7
And the inheritance of the sons of Israel shall not turn··around from tribe to▵ tribe ; for each··man ◦ of the sons of Israel shall stick to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers .
8
And every daughter who possesses an inheritance from the tribes of the sons of Israel shall be for a wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father , so··that the sons of Israel may possess every man ◦ the inheritance of his fathers .
9
And the inheritance shall not turn··around from one tribe to another tribe ; for each··man◦ of the tribes of the sons of Israel shall stick to his own inheritance .
10
As◦ Jehovah commanded Moses , so did the daughters of Zelophehad;
11
and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah◦, the daughters of Zelophehad, were wives to the sons of their uncles.
12
they would be for wives of the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph , and their inheritance was in the tribe of the family of their father .
13
These are the commandments and the judgments , which Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses to▵ the sons of Israel in the deserts of Moab by◦ Jordan near Jericho .
