5. Then Moses gave the Israelites this command from the Lord: “These men from the tribe of Joseph are right.
6. This is the Lord’s command to Zelophehad’s daughters: You may marry anyone you wish from your own tribe.
7. In this way the Israelites’ land will not pass from tribe to tribe. Each Israelite will keep the land in the tribe that belonged to his ancestors.
8. A woman who inherits her father’s land may marry. But she must marry someone from her own tribe. In this way every Israelite will keep the land that belonged to his ancestors.
9. The land must not pass from tribe to tribe. Each Israelite tribe will keep the land it received from its ancestors.”
10. Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed the Lord’s command to Moses.
