Num 36:1 And the heads of the fathers of the clans of the children of Gil‛aḏ,
son of Maḵir, son of Menashsheh, of the clans of the sons of Yosĕph, came
near and spoke before Mosheh and before the leaders, the heads of the
fathers of the children of Yisra’ĕl,
Num 36:2 and said, “ יהוה commanded my master to give the land as an
inheritance by lot to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and my master was commanded
by יהוה to give the inheritance of our brother Tselophḥaḏ to his daughters.
Num 36:3 “Now if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of
the children of Yisra’ĕl, then their inheritance shall be taken from the
inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe
into which they marry, and taken from the lot of our inheritance.
Num 36:4 “And if the Jubilee of the children of Yisra’ĕl takes place, then
their inheritance shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they
marry, and their inheritance taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of
our fathers.”
Num 36:5 And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl according to the
word of יהוה, saying, “What the tribe of the sons of Yosĕph speaks is right.
Num 36:6 “This is the word which יהוה has commanded, for the daughters of
Tselophḥaḏ, saying, ‘Let them marry who is good in their eyes, but let them
marry only within the clan of their father’s tribe.’
Num 36:7 “And the inheritance of the children of Yisra’ĕl is not to change
hands from tribe to tribe, for every one of the children of Yisra’ĕl is to cling
to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Num 36:8 “And every daughter possessing an inheritance in any tribe of the
children of Yisra’ĕl is to be the wife of one of the clan of her father’s tribe,
so that the children of Yisra’ĕl possess each the inheritance of his fathers.
Num 36:9 “Thus the inheritance is not to change hands from one tribe to
another, but every tribe of the children of Yisra’ĕl is to cling to its own
inheritance.”
Num 36:10 As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so did the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ.
Num 36:11 For Maḥlah, Tirtsah, and Ḥoḡlah, and Milkah, and No‛ah, the
daughters of Tselophḥaḏ, were married to the sons of their father’s brothers.
Num 36:12 And they were married into the clans of the children of
Menashsheh, the son of Yosĕph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of
their father’s clan.
Num 36:13 These are the commands and the right-rulings which יהוה
commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl by the hand of Mosheh in the desert
plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo.
