The inheritance of Zelophehad's daughters

1. Then the heads of the clans of the family of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came forward and spoke before Moses and the leaders, the heads of the clans of the Israelites.
2. They said, “The Lord has commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the Israelites. And my lord received this order from the Lord.
3. Now, if the men of the tribe of Manasseh, our relatives, are considered as one family, they will marry any woman from one of the other tribes of Israel. Then the inheritance we receive will be reduced and their inheritance will increase.
4. When the year of jubilee comes for the Israelites, their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the other tribes, so that it will be taken away from our family inheritance.”
5. Then Moses gave a command to the Israelites, according to the word of the Lord: “The tribe of Joseph's descendants is right.
6. This is what the Lord commands regarding the daughters of Zelophehad: they can marry whoever they want, as long as it is within the clan family of their father's tribe.
7. Thus the inheritance of the Israelites will not be transferred from one tribe to another, but each tribe of the Israelites will maintain its own inheritance.”
8. Each daughter who inherits property in any of the tribes of Israel must marry into her father's clan, so that all Israelites will possess the inheritance of their fathers.
9. No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, but each tribe of the Israelites shall keep its own inheritance.”
10. The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses.
11. Poah, Tiria, Hogla, Milcah and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, married their maternal nephews.
12. They married within the clans of the Manassites, son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of their father's family.
13. These are the commandments and ordinances that the Lord gave through Moses to the Israelites in the plains of Moab, along the Jordan, toward Jericho.
