Chapter 36
1
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
spoke before Moses, and before the princes,
the
chief fathers of the children of Israel.
2
And they said, Jehovah/God commanded my Jehovah/God
to
give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel.
And
my Jehovah/God was commanded by Jehovah/God
to
give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3
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.
4
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.
5
And Moses commanded the children of Israel
according
to the word of Jehovah/God, saying,
The
tribe of the sons of Joseph has said well.
6
This is the thing which Jehovah/God does 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.
7
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.
8
And every daughter, who possesses 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.
9
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 Jehovah/God 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
Jehovah/God commanded by the hand of Moses
unto
the children of Israel in the plains of Moab
by
Jordan near Jericho.
