Inheritance by Marriage |
|
|
 |
| Numbers 36:1 |
|
And the heads of the fathers' households of
the family of the sons 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
leaders, the heads of the fathers' households of the sons of Israel, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 36:2 |
|
and they said, "The LORD commanded my lord
to give the land by lot to the sons of Israel as an inheritance, and my lord was
commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his
daughters. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 36:3 |
|
But if they marry one of the sons of the other
tribes of the sons of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance
of our fathers and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they
belong; thus it will be withdrawn from our allotted inheritance. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 36:4 |
|
When the jubilee of the sons of Israel comes,
then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which
they belong; so their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of the
tribe of our fathers." |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 36:5 |
|
Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel according
to the word of the LORD, saying, "The tribe of the sons of Joseph are right in
their statements. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 36:6 |
|
This is what the LORD has commanded concerning
the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, 'Let them marry whom they wish; only they
must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.' |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 36:7 |
|
Thus no inheritance of the sons of Israel shall
be transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each hold to
the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 36:8 |
|
Every daughter who comes into possession of
an inheritance of any tribe of the sons of Israel shall be wife to one of the
family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel each may possess
the inheritance of his fathers. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 36:9 |
|
Thus no inheritance shall be transferred from
one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall each hold
to his own inheritance." |
|
|
|
| Numbers 36:10 |
|
Just as the LORD had commanded Moses, so the
daughters of Zelophehad did: |
|
|
|
| Numbers 36:11 |
|
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the
daughters of Zelophehad married their uncles' sons. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 36:12 |
|
They married those from the families of the
sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained with the tribe
of the family of their father. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 36:13 |
|
These are the commandments and the ordinances
which the LORD commanded to the sons of Israel through Moses in the plains of
Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho. |
