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3But if they 1marry one of the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so it will be withdrawn from our allotted inheritance. 4And when the 2jubilee of the sons of Israel takes place, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”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 in accordance with the 3word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is right in its statements. 64This is 5what the Lord has commanded regarding the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry 6whomever they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.’ 7So 7no inheritance of the sons of Israel will 8be transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each 9retain possession of the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 810And every daughter who comes into possession of an inheritance of any tribe of the sons of Israel shall marry one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel may each possess the inheritance of his fathers. 9So no inheritance will 11be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall each 12retain possession of its own inheritance.”

10Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did: 1113Mahlah, 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 14remained with the tribe of the family of their father.
