And the chief <H7218> fathers <H0001> of the families <H4940> of the children <H1121> of Gilead, <H1568> the son <H1121> of Machir, <H4353> the son <H1121> of Manasseh, <H4519> of the families <H4940> of the sons <H1121> of Joseph, <H3130> came near, <H7126> and spake <H1696> before <H6440> Moses, <H4872> and before <H6440> the princes, <H5387> the chief <H7218> fathers <H0001> of the children <H1121> of Israel: <H3478>
2
And they said, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> commanded <H6680> my lord <H0113> to give <H5414> the land <H0776> for an inheritance <H5159> by lot <H1486> to the children <H1121> of Israel: <H3478> and my lord <H0113> was commanded <H6680> by the LORD <H3068> to give <H5414> the inheritance <H5159> of Zelophehad <H6765> our brother <H0251> unto his daughters. <H1323>
3
And if they be married <H0802> to any <H0259> of the sons <H1121> of the [other] tribes <H7626> of the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> then shall their inheritance <H5159> be taken <H1639> from the inheritance <H5159> of our fathers, <H0001> and shall be put <H3254> to the inheritance <H5159> of the tribe <H4294> whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken <H1639> from the lot <H1486> of our inheritance. <H5159>
4
And when the jubile <H3104> of the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> shall be, then shall their inheritance <H5159> be put <H3254> unto the inheritance <H5159> of the tribe <H4294> whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance <H5159> be taken away <H1639> from the inheritance <H5159> of the tribe <H4294> of our fathers. <H0001>
5
And Moses <H4872> commanded <H6680> the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> according to the word <H6310> of the LORD, <H3068> saying, <H0559> The tribe <H4294> of the sons <H1121> of Joseph <H3130> hath said <H1696> well.
6
This [is] the thing <H1697> which the LORD <H3068> doth command <H6680> concerning the daughters <H1323> of Zelophehad, <H6765> saying, <H0559> Let them marry <H0802> to whom they think <H5869> best; <H2896> only to the family <H4940> of the tribe <H4294> of their father <H0001> shall they marry. <H0802>
7
So shall not the inheritance <H5159> of the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> remove <H5437> from tribe <H4294> to tribe: <H4294> for every one <H0376> of the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> shall keep <H1692> himself to the inheritance <H5159> of the tribe <H4294> of his fathers. <H0001>
8
And every daughter, <H1323> that possesseth <H3423> an inheritance <H5159> in any tribe <H4294> of the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> shall be wife <H0802> unto one <H0259> of the family <H4940> of the tribe <H4294> of her father, <H0001> that the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> may enjoy <H3423> every man <H0376> the inheritance <H5159> of his fathers. <H0001>
9
Neither shall the inheritance <H5159> remove <H5437> from [one] tribe <H4294> to another <H0312> tribe; <H4294> but every one <H0376> of the tribes <H4294> of the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> shall keep <H1692> himself to his own inheritance. <H5159>
10
Even as the LORD <H3068> commanded <H6680> Moses, <H4872> so did <H6213> the daughters <H1323> of Zelophehad: <H6765>
11
For Mahlah, <H4244> Tirzah, <H8656> and Hoglah, <H2295> and Milcah, <H4435> and Noah, <H5270> the daughters <H1323> of Zelophehad, <H6765> were married <H0802> unto their father's brothers' <H1730> sons: <H1121>
12
[And] they were married <H0802> into the families <H4940> of the sons <H1121> of Manasseh <H4519> the son <H1121> of Joseph, <H3130> and their inheritance <H5159> remained in the tribe <H4294> of the family <H4940> of their father. <H0001>
13
These [are] the commandments <H4687> and the judgments, <H4941> which the LORD <H3068> commanded <H6680> by the hand <H3027> of Moses <H4872> unto the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> in the plains <H6160> of Moab <H4124> by Jordan <H3383> [near] Jericho. <H3405>
