Chapter 36
|
1
|
And the chief fathers of the families of the children
of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before
Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the
children of Israel: |
2
|
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the
land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel:
and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance
of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. |
3
|
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other
tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance
be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall
be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. |
4
|
And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall
be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance
of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their
inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe
of our fathers. |
5
|
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according
to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons
of Joseph hath said well. |
6
|
This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning
the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to
whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of
their father shall they marry. |
7
|
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel
remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children
of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the
tribe of his fathers. |
8
|
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in
any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto
one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the
children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance
of his fathers. |
9
|
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to
another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children
of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance. |
10
|
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters
of Zelophehad: |
11
|
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah,
the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's
brothers' sons: |
12
|
And they were married into the families of the sons of
Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained
in the tribe of the family of their father. |
13
|
These are the commandments and the judgments, which the
LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of
Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. |
