Chapter 36
- 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, 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.
- 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 jubile 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 LORD,
saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
- 36:6
- 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.
- 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
the LORD 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 the LORD commanded by the
hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by
Jordan near Jericho.
