1 And the chief{H7218} fathers{H1} 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}{(H8799)}, and spake{H1696}{(H8762)} before{H6440} Moses{H4872}, and before{H6440} the princes{H5387}, the chief{H7218} fathers{H1} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}:

2 And they said{H559}{(H8799)}, The LORD{H3068} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} my lord{H113} to give{H5414}{(H8800)} the land{H776} for an inheritance{H5159} by lot{H1486} to the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}: and my lord{H113} was commanded{H6680}{(H8795)} by the LORD{H3068} to give{H5414}{(H8800)} the inheritance{H5159} of Zelophehad{H6765} our brother{H251} unto his daughters{H1323}.

3 And if they be married{H802} to any{H259} of the sons{H1121} of the other tribes{H7626} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, then shall their inheritance{H5159} be taken{H1639}{(H8738)} from the inheritance{H5159} of our fathers{H1}, and shall be put{H3254}{(H8738)} to the inheritance{H5159} of the tribe{H4294} whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken{H1639}{(H8735)} 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}{(H8738)} unto the inheritance{H5159} of the tribe{H4294} whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance{H5159} be taken away{H1639}{(H8735)} from the inheritance{H5159} of the tribe{H4294} of our fathers{H1}.

5 And Moses{H4872} commanded{H6680}{(H8762)} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} according to the word{H6310} of the LORD{H3068}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, The tribe{H4294} of the sons{H1121} of Joseph{H3130} hath said{H1696}{(H8802)} well.

6 This is the thing{H1697} which the LORD{H3068} doth command{H6680}{(H8765)} concerning the daughters{H1323} of Zelophehad{H6765}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Let them marry{H802} to whom they think{H5869} best{H2896}; only to the family{H4940} of the tribe{H4294} of their father{H1} shall they marry{H802}.

7 So shall not the inheritance{H5159} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} remove{H5437}{(H8735)} from tribe{H4294} to tribe{H4294}: for every one{H376} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} shall keep{H1692}{(H8799)} himself to the inheritance{H5159} of the tribe{H4294} of his fathers{H1}.

8 And every daughter{H1323}, that possesseth{H3423}{(H8802)} an inheritance{H5159} in any tribe{H4294} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, shall be wife{H802} unto one{H259} of the family{H4940} of the tribe{H4294} of her father{H1}, that the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} may enjoy{H3423}{(H8799)} every man{H376} the inheritance{H5159} of his fathers{H1}.

9 Neither shall the inheritance{H5159} remove{H5437}{(H8735)} from one tribe{H4294} to another{H312} tribe{H4294}; but every one{H376} of the tribes{H4294} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} shall keep{H1692}{(H8799)} himself to his own inheritance{H5159}.

10 Even as the LORD{H3068} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} Moses{H4872}, so did{H6213}{(H8804)} 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{H802} unto their father's{H1730} brothers' sons{H1121}:

12 And they were married{H802} 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{H1}.

13 These are the commandments{H4687} and the judgments{H4941}, which the LORD{H3068} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} 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}.
