Numbers 36 (WEBP)
[1] The heads of the fathers’ households of the family 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 heads of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel.
[2] They said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
[3] If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
[4] When the jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
[5] Moses commanded the children of Israel according to Yahweh’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what is right.
[6] This is the thing which Yahweh commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them be married to whom they think best, only they shall marry into the family of the tribe of their father.
[7] So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
[8] Every daughter who possesses 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 each possess the inheritance of his fathers.
[9] So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’ ”
[10] The daughters of Zelophehad did as Yahweh commanded Moses:
[11] for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.
[12] They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. Their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
[13] These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

Numbers 36 (KJVS)
[1] And the chief H7218 fathers H1 of the families H4940 of the children H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, of the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130, came near H7126 (8799), and spake H1696 (8762) before H6440 Moses H4872, and before H6440 the princes H5387, the chief H7218 fathers H1 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478:
[2] And they said H559 (8799), The LORD H3068 commanded H6680 (8765) my lord H113 to give H5414 (8800) the land H776 for an inheritance H5159 by lot H1486 to the children H1121 of Israel H3478: and my lord H113 was commanded H6680 (8795) by the LORD H3068 to give H5414 (8800) the inheritance H5159 of Zelophehad H6765 our brother H251 unto his daughters H1323.
[3] And if they be married H802 to any H259 of the sons H1121 of the [other] tribes H7626 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478, then shall their inheritance H5159 be taken H1639 (8738) from the inheritance H5159 of our fathers H1, and shall be put H3254 (8738) to the inheritance H5159 of the tribe H4294 whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken H1639 (8735) from the lot H1486 of our inheritance H5159.
[4] And when the jubile H3104 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall be, then shall their inheritance H5159 be put H3254 (8738) unto the inheritance H5159 of the tribe H4294 whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance H5159 be taken away H1639 (8735) from the inheritance H5159 of the tribe H4294 of our fathers H1.
[5] And Moses H4872 commanded H6680 (8762) the children H1121 of Israel H3478 according to the word H6310 of the LORD H3068, saying H559 (8800), The tribe H4294 of the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130 hath said H1696 (8802) well.
[6] This [is] the thing H1697 which the LORD H3068 doth command H6680 (8765) concerning the daughters H1323 of Zelophehad H6765, saying H559 (8800), Let them marry H802 to whom they think H5869 best H2896; only to the family H4940 of the tribe H4294 of their father H1 shall they marry H802.
[7] So shall not the inheritance H5159 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 remove H5437 (8735) from tribe H4294 to tribe H4294: for every one H376 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall keep H1692 (8799) himself to the inheritance H5159 of the tribe H4294 of his fathers H1.
[8] And every daughter H1323, that possesseth H3423 (8802) an inheritance H5159 in any tribe H4294 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478, shall be wife H802 unto one H259 of the family H4940 of the tribe H4294 of her father H1, that the children H1121 of Israel H3478 may enjoy H3423 (8799) every man H376 the inheritance H5159 of his fathers H1.
[9] Neither shall the inheritance H5159 remove H5437 (8735) from [one] tribe H4294 to another H312 tribe H4294; but every one H376 of the tribes H4294 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall keep H1692 (8799) himself to his own inheritance H5159.
[10] Even as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 (8765) Moses H4872, so did H6213 (8804) the daughters H1323 of Zelophehad H6765:
[11] For Mahlah H4244, Tirzah H8656, and Hoglah H2295, and Milcah H4435, and Noah H5270, the daughters H1323 of Zelophehad H6765, were married H802 unto their father’s H1730 brothers’ sons H1121:
[12] [And] they were married H802 into the families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Manasseh H4519 the son H1121 of Joseph H3130, and their inheritance H5159 remained in the tribe H4294 of the family H4940 of their father H1.
[13] These [are] the commandments H4687 and the judgments H4941, which the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 (8765) by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in the plains H6160 of Moab H4124 by Jordan H3383 [near] Jericho H3405.

Numbers 36 (YLT)
[1] And the heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, come near, and speak before Moses, and before the princes, heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel,
[2] and say, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord hath been commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
[3] ‘And-they have been to one of the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance hath been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and hath been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the lot of our inheritance it is withdrawn,
[4] and if it is the jubilee of the sons of Israel, then hath their inheritance been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers is their inheritance withdrawn.’
[5] And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, by the command of Jehovah, saying, ‘Rightly are the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaking;
[6] this is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let them be for wives; only, to a family of the tribe of their fathers let them be for wives;
[7] and the inheritance of the sons of Israel doth not turn round from tribe unto tribe; for each to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers, do the sons of Israel cleave.
[8] ‘And every daughter possessing an inheritance, of the tribes of the sons of Israel, is to one of the family of the tribe of her father for a wife, so that the sons of Israel possess each the inheritance of his fathers,
[9] and the inheritance doth not turn round from one tribe to another tribe; for each to his inheritance do they cleave, the tribes of the sons of Israel.’
[10] As Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the daughters of Zelophehad done,
[11] and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are to the sons of their fathers’ brethren for wives;
[12] to men of the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, they have been for wives, and their inheritance is with the tribe of the family of their father.
[13] These are the commands and the judgments which Jehovah hath commanded, by the hand of Moses, concerning the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, near Jericho.
