Numbers 36:5-12

5Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel in accordance with the 1word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is right in its statements. 62This is 3what the Lord has commanded regarding the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry 4whomever they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.’ 7So 5no inheritance of the sons of Israel will 6be transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each 7retain possession of the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 88And 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 9be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall each 10retain possession of its own inheritance.”

10Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did: 1111Mahlah, 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 12remained with the tribe of the family of their father.
