Numbers 36:6–12

⁶“^aThis is ¹what the Lord has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry ²whom they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.’

⁷“Thus ^ano inheritance of the sons of Israel shall ¹be transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each ²hold to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

⁸“^aEvery 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.

⁹“Thus no inheritance shall ¹be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall each ²hold to his own inheritance.”

¹⁰Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did:

^11aMahlah, 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 ¹remained with the tribe of the family of their father.
