Numbers 36:3-12

3But if they 1marry one of the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; thus it will be withdrawn from our allotted inheritance. 4When the 2jubilee of the sons of Israel 3comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”

5Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the 4word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph are right in their statements. 65This is 6what the Lord has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry 7whom they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.’ 7Thus 8no inheritance of the sons of Israel shall 9be transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each 10hold to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 811Every daughter who comes into possession of an inheritance of any tribe of the sons of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel each may possess the inheritance of his fathers. 9Thus no inheritance shall 12be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall each 13hold to his own inheritance.”

10Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did: 1114Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad married their uncles’ sons. 12They married those from the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance 15remained with the tribe of the family of their father.
