The tribe of the fons of jofeph hath faid well. 6 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelephehad, faying, Let them marry to whom they think beft; only to the family of the tribe of their father thall they marry: 7 So fhall not the inher cance of the children of frael remove from tribe to tribe t for every one of the children of Ifrael thall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And every daughter that poffeffeth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Ifrael, thall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Ifrael may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. 9 Neither thall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; bu every one of the tribes of the children of Ifrael fhall keep himfelf to his own inheritance. 10 Even as the LORD commanded Mofes, fo did the daughters of Zelophehad: For Mahlah, Tirzalı, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelo phehad, were married unto their father's brothers' fons. 12 And they were married into the families of the fons of Manaffeh, the fon of Jofeph; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 13 These are the commandments and the judgments which the LORD commanded by the hand of Mofes unto the children of Ifrael, in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. ¶ The Fifth Book of MOSES, called DEUTERONOMY.
