36:1 And the heads of the tribe of the sons 
    of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasse, of the tribe of the sons of 
    Joseph, drew near, and spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, 
    and before the heads of the houses of the families of the children of 
    Israel: 
     
    36:2 and they said, Yehovah commanded our lord to render the land of 
    inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and Yehovah appointed our 
    lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our brother to his daughters. 
     
    36:3 And they will become wives in one of the tribes of the children of 
    Israel; so their inheritance shall be taken away from the possession of our 
    fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the 
    women shall marry, and shall be taken away from the portion of our 
    inheritance. 
     
    36:4 And if there shall be a release of the children of Israel, then shall 
    their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the 
    women marry, and their inheritance, shall be taken away from the inheritance 
    of our family's tribe. 
     
    36:5 And Moses charged the children of Israel by the commandment of the 
    Lord, saying, Thus says the tribe of the children of Joseph.  
     
    36:6 This [is] the thing which Yehovah has appointed the daughters of 
    Salpaad, saying, Let them marry where they please, only let them marry [men] 
    of their father's tribe.  
     
    36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel go about from 
    tribe to tribe, for the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each 
    in the inheritance of his family's tribe.  
     
    36:8 And whatever daughter is heiress to a property of the tribes of the 
    children Israel, [such] women shall be married each to one of her father's 
    tribe, that the sons of Israel may each inherit the property of his father's 
    tribe. 
     
    36:9 And the inheritance shall not go about from one tribe to another, but 
    the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in his on 
    inheritance. 
     
    36:10 As Yehovah commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad. 
     
    36:11 So Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of 
    Salpaad, married their cousins; 
     
    36:12 they were married [to men] of the tribe of Manasse of the sons of 
    Joseph; and their inheritance was attached to the tribe of their father's 
    family. 
     
    36:13 These [are] the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, 
    which Yehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, at the west of Moab, at 
    Jordan by Jericho.  | 
    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: 
     
    36:2 And they said, Yehovah commanded my lord to give the land for an 
    inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by 
    Yehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his 
    daughters. 
     
    36:3 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. 
     
    36:4 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. 
     
    36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the 
    Yehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. 
     
    36:6 This is the thing which Yehovah 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. 
     
    36:7 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. 
     
    36:8 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. 
     
    36:9 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. 
     
    36:10 Even as Yehovah commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 
     
    36:11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of 
    Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons: 
     
    36:12 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. 
     
    36:13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which Yehovah commanded 
    by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by 
    Jordan near Jericho.  |
