A Word about Inheritance
Now 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 to Moses and the elders of the children of Israel and reminded them that the Lord had commanded that the land was to be given by lot to the children of Israel, and that Moses was commanded by God to give the inheritance of Zelophehad their brother unto his daughters. But that if they were married to the sons of any of the other tribes of Israel then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of their fathers, and be put to the inheritance of the tribes from which they were received and be taken from the lot of their inheritance.
And when the Jubilee of the children of Israel shall come around then shall their inheritance be put with the inheritance of the tribe from which they had received them and so taken away from the inheritance of their fathers.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord and said, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph has well spoken.” This is what the Lord has commanded regarding the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘let them marry to whomsoever they think best; but only to the tribe of the father of their family shall they marry, so that the inheritance of the children of Israel shall not move from the tribe; for every inheritance of the children of Israel shall remain within the inheritance of Israel.  And every daughter who possesses an inheritance shall marry only to a member of one of the tribes of Israel in order to keep the inheritance.
