CHAPTER 36 The Transfer of Tribal Lands

1 And came forward the rulers of the fathers' side of the tribes of the sons of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the tribe of the sons of Joseph, and they spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the rulers of the houses of the patrimony of the sons of Israel. 2 And they said, [²to ³our master ¹The lord gave charge] to give the land of inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel; and [²to the ³master ¹the lord gave orders] to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. 3 And they will be to one of the tribes of the sons of Israel for wives; and [²shall be removed ¹their lot] from the possession of our fathers, and shall be added for an inheritance of the tribe in which ever they should become wives; and from the lot of our inheritance it shall be removed. 4 And if there should be the release of the sons of Israel, then [²shall be added ¹their inheritance] unto the inheritance of the tribe in which ever [²become wives ¹the women]; and from the inheritance of the tribe of our family [²shall be removed ¹their inheritance]. 5 And Moses gave charge to the sons of Israel, through the order of the lord, saying, Thus to the tribe of the sons of Israel, say, 6 This is the saying which the lord ordered to the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Of whom ever it is pleasing before them 1let them be wives, only from the people of their father let them be wives! 7 And [⁶shall not ⁷be moved around ¹the ²inheritance ³to the ⁴sons ⁵of Israel] from tribe to tribe, that each in the inheritance of the tribe of his family [⁴shall cleave to ¹the ²sons ³of Israel]. 8 And every daughter acting as next of kin of an inheritance from the tribes of the sons of Israel, [³to one ⁴of the ones ⁵from out of ⁶the ⁷people ⁸of her father ¹they shall be ²wives], that [⁴should be acting as next of kin ¹the ²sons ³of Israel], each in the inheritance of his father. 9 And [³shall not ⁴be moved around ¹the ²lot] from one tribe to [²tribe ¹another], but each unto his inheritance shall [⁴cleave to ¹the ²sons ³of Israel]. 10 In which manner the lord ordered Moses, thus [³did ¹the daughters ²of Zelophehad]. 11 And it came to pass Mahlah, Tizrah, and Hoglah, and Milchah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad to their cousins 12 of the people of Manasseh of the sons of Joseph they became wives. And [²came ¹their inheritance] to the tribe of the people of their father. 13 These are the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the lord gave charge by the hand of Moses to the sons of Israel at the descent of Moab near the Jordan by Jericho.
