          DASV: Numbers 36    

1 The family heads of the clans of Gileadites, the son of Makir,
the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph,
came near, and spoke before Moses and the leaders, who were
heads of the Israelite families.
2 They said, "The LORD commanded my lord to give the land
for inheritance by lot to the Israelites and my lord was
commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad
our brother to his daughters.
3 But if they marry men from other tribes of the Israelites,
then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance
of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the
tribe that they belong to. So it will be taken away from
the lot of our assigned inheritance.
4 When the Jubilee of the Israelites comes, then their
inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe
that they now belong to. So their inheritance will be taken
away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers."

5 Then Moses commanded the Israelites according to the
word of the LORD, saying, "What the tribe of the sons
of Joseph are saying is right.
6 This is what the LORD commands concerning the daughters
of Zelophehad: 'Let them marry whoever they think best;
only they must marry inside the family of the tribe of
their father.
7 So no inheritance of the Israelites will be transferred
from tribe to tribe. But every Israelite must retain the
inheritance of the tribe of his forefathers.
8 Every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any
tribe of the Israelites, must marry someone from the clan
of her father's tribe, so that each Israelite may retain
the inheritance of his fathers.
9 So no inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to
another, for each tribe of the Israelites must keep its
own inheritance."

10 So the daughters of Zelophehad did just as the LORD
commanded Moses.
11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the daughters
of Zelophehad, married sons of their father's brothers.
12 They married into the families of the sons of Manasseh
the son of Joseph. So their inheritance remained in the
tribe of their father's family.
13 These are the commandments and the regulations that
the LORD commanded through Moses to the Israelites in
the plains of Moab by the Jordan River across from Jericho.
