Numbers Chapter 36
So, the main fams of Gilead, like Machir's crew from Manasseh, pulled up to Moses and the leaders of Israel.
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
They were like, "God gave my dude the task to hand out the land to Israel by drawing lots, and He said to pass Zelophehad’s inheritance to his daughters, no cap."
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
But if they vibe with any dudes from other tribes, their inheritance gets snatched and heads to the tribe they marry into, fr.
And if they be married to any of the sons of the {other} tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. {whereunto...: Heb. unto whom they shall be}
When the jubilee rolls around for Israel, their inheritance will transfer to the tribe they’re with, so it’ll be taken from our fam's lot.
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. {whereunto...: Heb. unto whom they shall be}
Moses told Israel what God said, "Joseph's tribe is keeping it real."
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
This is God’s word for Zelophehad's daughters: they can marry whoever they vibe with, but only from their dad’s tribe, no doubt.
This {is} the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry. {marry: Heb. be wives}
So the inheritance won’t be jumping around; every Israelite keeps their fam’s inheritance, for real.
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. {keep...: Heb. cleave to the, etc}
Any daughter with an inheritance in a tribe has to marry within her dad's fam, so everybody gets their rightful inheritance, no cap.
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
The inheritance won’t switch up tribes; each tribe of Israel holds onto their own, for sure.
Neither shall the inheritance remove from {one} tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
Just as God told Moses, Zelophehad's daughters did their thing.
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, linked up with their dad's bros' sons.
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
They married into the fams of Manasseh, Joseph's son, and their inheritance stayed with their dad's tribe, lit.
{And} they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. {into...: Heb. to some that were of the families}
These are the laws and decisions God dropped through Moses to Israel in the Moab plains by the Jordan near Jericho, bet.
These {are} the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan {near} Jericho.
