Numbers
Chapters 36:5-11
New English Translation
5Then Moses gave a ruling to the Israelites by the word of the Lord: “What the tribe of the Josephites is saying is right.
6This is what the Lord has commanded for Zelophehad’s daughters: ‘Let them marry whomever they think best, only they must marry within the family of their father’s tribe.
7In this way the inheritance of the Israelites will not be transferred from tribe to tribe. But every one of the Israelites must retain the ancestral heritage.
8And every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any of the tribes of the Israelites must become the wife of a man from any family in her father’s tribe, so that every Israelite may retain the inheritance of his fathers.
9No inheritance may pass from tribe to tribe. But every one of the tribes of the Israelites must retain its inheritance.”
10As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did.
11For the daughters of Zelophehad – Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah – were married to the sons of their uncles.
