Numbers 36:5-11 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. Moses gave this command from the Lord to the Israelites: “These men from the tribe of Joseph are right.

6. This is the Lord’S command to Zelophehad’s daughters: If you want to marry someone, you must marry someone from your own tribe.

7. In this way land will not be passed from tribe to tribe among the Israelites. Each Israelite will keep the land that belonged to their own ancestors.

8. And if a woman gets her father’s land, she must marry someone from her own tribe. That way everyone will keep the land that belonged to his ancestors.

9. So the land must not be passed from tribe to tribe among the Israelites. Each Israelite will keep the land that belonged to their own ancestors.”

10. So Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed the Lord’S command to Moses.

11. Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah—married their cousins on their father’s side of the family.
