Book 04 : TORAH - BAMIDBAR (NUMBERS) - Chapter 036
36:001
And the heads of the fathers' houses of the family of the
children 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 princes,
the heads of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel
36:002
and they said: 'The HaShem commanded my lord to give the
land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded
by HaShem to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters
36:003
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other
tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken away from
the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the
tribe whereunto they shall belong; so will it be taken away from the lot of our
inheritance
36:004
And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be,
then will their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto
they shall belong; so will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance
of the tribe of our fathers.
36:005
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the
word of HaShem, saying: 'The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right
36:006
This is the thing which HaShem hath commanded concerning
the daughters of Zelophehad, saying: Let them be married to whom they think
best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married
36:007
So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove
from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the
inheritance of the tribe of his fathers
36:008
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 possess every man the
inheritance of his fathers
36:009
So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another
tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave each one to its own
inheritance.
36:010
Even as HaShem commanded Moses, so did the daughters of
Zelophehad
36:011
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the
daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons
36:012
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
36:013
These are the commandments and the ordinances, which
HaShem commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains
of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho
