Inheritance of Daughters of Zelophehad
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 leaders, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2   And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3   And if they are 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 to which they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4   And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe to which 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  the  LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken correctly.
6   This is the thing which the LORD 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 move from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep to himself the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8   And every daughter, that 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 move from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep to himself his own inheritance.
10   Even as the LORD 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 the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho.
