Numbers 36:5-12

5So Moses commanded the Israelites at the word of the Lord, “What the tribe of Joseph’s descendants says is right.

6This is what the Lord has commanded concerning Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they like provided they marry within a clan of their ancestral tribe.

7No inheritance belonging to the Israelites is to transfer from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of his ancestral tribe.

8Any daughter who possesses an inheritance from an Israelite tribe must marry someone from the clan of her ancestral tribe, so that each of the Israelites will possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9No inheritance is to transfer from one tribe to another, because each of the Israelite tribes is to retain its inheritance.”

10The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses.

11Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married cousins on their father’s side.

12They married men from the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.
