1THE heads of the fathers' families of Gilead son of Machir, son of Manasseh, one of the families of the sons of Joseph, approached Moses and the chiefs, heads of families in Israel, and addressed them.
2“The LORD commanded you, sir,” they said, “to distribute the land by lot to the Israelites, and you were also commanded to give the portion of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.
3Now if any of them should be married to a husband from another Israelite tribe, her share would be lost to the portion of our fathers and be added to that of the tribe into which she marries, and so part of our allotted portion would be lost.
4When the jubilee year comes round in Israel, her share would be added to the share of the tribe into which she marries, and it would be permanently lost to the portion of our fathers” tribe.'
5Instructed by the LORD, Moses gave the Israelites this ruling: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is right.
6This is the LORD's command for the daughters of Zelophehad: They may marry whom they please, but only within a family of their father's tribe.
7No portion in Israel shall pass from one tribe to another, but every Israelite shall retain his father's portion.
8Any woman of an Israelite tribe who is an heiress may marry a man from any family in her father's tribe. Thus each of the Israelites shall retain the portion of his forefathers.
9No portion shall pass from one tribe to another, but every tribe in Israel shall retain its own share.”
10The daughters of Zelophehad acted in accordance with the LORD's command to Moses;
11Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married sons of their father's brothers.
12They married within the families of the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their portion remained with the tribe of their father's family.
13These are the commandments and the decrees which the LORD issued to the Israelites through Moses in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho.
