Inheritance by Marriage

1 aAnd the heads° of the fathers’° [households] of the family° of the sons° 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 leaders°, the heads° of the fathers’° [households] of the sons° of Israel°, 2 and they said°, “The LORD° commanded° my lord° to give° the land° by lot° to the sons° of Israel° as an inheritance°, and my lord° awas commanded° by the LORD° to give° the inheritance° of Zelophehad° our brother° to his daughters°. 3 But if they Imarry°° one° of the sons° of the [other] tribes° of the sons° of Israel°, their inheritance° will be withdrawn° from the inheritance° of our fathers° and will be added° to the inheritance° of the tribe° to which° they belong°; thus it will be withdrawn° from our allotted° inheritance°. 4 When° the ajubilee° of the sons° of Israel° Icomes°, then their inheritance° will be added° to the inheritance° of the tribe° to which° they belong°; so their inheritance° will be withdrawn° from the inheritance° of the tribe° of our fathers°.”
