The Inheritance of Zelophehad’s Daughters · Numbers 36

Open this scene in the reader →

5So Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of Yahweh, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is speaking rightly.”

6This is the word that Yahweh has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them become wives to whomever seems good in their eyes; only they must become wives within the family of the tribe of their father.’

7So no inheritance of the sons of Israel shall pass from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each hold fast to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8And every daughter who possesses an inheritance from the tribes of the sons of Israel shall become the wife of one from the clan of her father's tribe, so that the sons of Israel may each possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9No inheritance shall pass from one tribe to another tribe, for each of the tribes of the sons of Israel shall hold fast to its own inheritance.
