1 The chief fathers of the families of the children of Rocky Region (Gilead), the son of Sold (Machir), the son of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), of the families of the sons of I AM Will Add (Joseph), came near and spoke before Drawn (Moses), and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of God Prevails (Israel):
2
They said, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of God Prevails (Israel): and my lord was commanded
by I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) to give the inheritance of First-Born (Zelophehad)
our brother to his daughters.
3
If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of God
Prevails (Israel), then their inheritance shall be taken from the inheritance
of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereto they
are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4
When the jubilee of the children of God Prevails (Israel) shall be, then shall
their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the
tribe of our fathers.
5
So Drawn (Moses) commanded the children of God Prevails (Israel) according to
the word of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), saying: The tribe of the sons of I AM
Will Add (Joseph) has said well.
6
This is the thing which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commands concerning the
daughters of First-Born (Zelophehad): Let them marry to whom they think best;
only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
7
So the inheritance of the children of God Prevails (Israel) shall not move from
tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of God Prevails (Israel) shall
keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8
Every daughter, that possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of God
Prevails (Israel), shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her
father, that the children of God Prevails (Israel) may enjoy every man the
inheritance of his fathers.
9
Neither shall the inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe, but every
one of the tribes of the children of God Prevails (Israel) shall keep his own
inheritance.
10
As I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded Drawn (Moses), so did the daughters of First-born
(Zelophehad):
11
For Disease (Mahlah), Favorable (Tirzah), Partridge (Hoglah), Queen (Milcah),
and Rest (Noah), the daughters of First-born (Zelophehad), were married to
their father’s brothers' sons:
12
They were married into the families of the sons of Causing to Forget (Manasseh)
the son of I AM Will Add (Joseph), and their inheritance remained in the tribe
of the family of their father.
13
These are the commandments and the judgments, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah)
commanded by the hand of Drawn (Moses) to the children of God Prevails (Israel)
in the plains of Of His Father (Moab) by the Descender (Jordan) near Its Moon
(Jericho).
