⁶This is the word that Yahweh commanded the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry^q whomever they like;^r only they must marry^s from within the clan of the tribe of their father. ⁷Thus an inheritance of the Israelites^t will not go around from tribe to tribe. Rather, the inheritance of each tribe of his father will remain with the Israelites.^u ⁸Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from the tribes of the Israelites^v will marry^w one of the clan of the tribe of her father, so that the Israelites^x will possess the inheritance of his ancestors.^y ⁹Therefore an inheritance will not go around from one tribe to another tribe because the tribes of the Israelites^z will each hold to their own inheritance.’ ”

¹⁰Just as Yahweh commanded to Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did: ¹¹Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married^a the sons of their uncles. ¹²They married^b those from the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained^c among the tribe of the clan of their ancestors.^d
