And when the free year {of jubilee} cometh unto the children of
Israel, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance
of the tribe where they are in, and so shall their inheritance be
taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. And
Moses commanded the children of Israel at the mouth of the LORD
saying: the tribe of the children of Ioseph have said well. This
therefore doeth the LORD: command the daughters of Zelaphead
saying: let them be wives to whom they themself think best, but in
the kindred of the tribe of their fathers shall they marry, that
the inheritance of the children of Israel roll not from tribe to
tribe. But that the children of Israel may abide, every man in the
inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. And every daughter that
possesseth any inheritance among the tribes of the children of
Israel, shall be wife unto one of the kindred of the tribe of her
father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the
inheritance of his father, and that the inheritance go not from
one tribe to another: but that the tribes of the children of
Israel, may abide every man in his own inheritance. And as the
LORD commanded Moses even so did the daughters of Zelaphead:
Mahela, Thirza, Hagla, Milcha and Noa, and were married unto their
fathers' brothers' sons, of the kindred of the children of Manasse
the son of Ioseph: and so they had their inheritance in the tribe
of the kindred of their father.
