Numbers 36:6-13 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

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.

12. Their husbands were from Manasseh’s family groups, so their land remained within their father’s family group and tribe.

13. So these are the laws and commands that the Lord gave to Moses in the Jordan Valley in Moab by the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
