* 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 spoke before Moses , and before the princes , the chief fathers of the children of Israel : * 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 to his daughters . * And if they shall be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel , then will their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers , and will be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received : so it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance . * And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be , then will their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received : so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * And every daughter , that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel , shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father , that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers . * 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 . * Even as the LORD commanded Moses , so did the daughters of Zelophehad : * For Mahlah , Tirzah , and Hoglah , and Milcah , and Noah , the daughters of Zelophehad , were married to their father 's brothers ' sons : * 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 . * These are the commandments and the judgments , which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho .
