Numbers 36:5-13 - Moses' Decision

⁵ And Moses commanded the children of Israel at the mouth of the LORD, saying, "The tribe of the children of Joseph have said well. ⁶ This, therefore, doeth the LORD: 'Command the daughters of Zelophehad, saying: let them be wives to whom they themself think best, but in the kindred of the tribe of their fathers shall they marry, ⁷ that the inheritance of the children of Israel roll not from tribe to tribe. But that the children of Israel may abide, every man, in the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. ⁸ And every daughter that possesseth any inheritance among the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the kindred of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his father, ⁹ and that the inheritance go not from one tribe to another: but that the tribes of the children of Israel may abide, every man, in his own inheritance.'"

¹⁰ And as the LORD commanded Moses, even so did the daughters of Zelophehad: ¹¹ Mahela, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, and were married unto their fathers' brothers' sons, ¹² of the kindred of the children of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and so they had their inheritance in the tribe of the kindred of their father.

¹³ These are the commandments and laws which the LORD commanded through Moses, unto the children of Israel in the fields of Moab upon Jordan nigh unto Jericho.
