CHAP. XXXVI.
That the inheritances may not
be alienated from one tribe
to another, all are to marry
within their own tribes.
1 And the heads of Galaad,
the son of Machir,
the son of Manasses of
the stock of the children of
Joseph came: and spoke to
Moses before the princes of
Israel, and said:
2 The Lord hath commanded
thee my lord that
thou shouldst divide the land
by lot to the children of Israel,
and that thou shouldst
give to the daughters of Salphaad
our brother the possession
due to their father:
3 Now if men of another
tribe take them to wives, their
possession will follow them,
and being transferred to another
tribe, will be a diminishing
of our inheritance.
4 And so it shall come to
pass, that when the jubile,
that is the fiftieth year of remission
is come, the distribution
made by the lots shall
be confounded, and the possession
of the one shall pass
to the others.
5 Moses answered the children
of Israel, and said by
the command of the Lord:
The tribe of the children of
Joseph hath spoken rightly.
6 And this is the law promulgated
by the Lord touching
the daughters of Salphaad:
Let them marry to whom
they will, only so that it be
to men of their own tribe:
7 Lest the possession of
the children of Israel be
mingled from tribe to tribe.
For all men shall marry wives
of their own tribe and kindred:
8 And all women shall take
husbands of the same tribe:
that the inheritance may remain
in the families,
9 And that the tribes be
not mingled one with another,
but remain so
10 As they were separated
by the Lord. And the daughters
of Salphaad did as was
commanded:
11 And Maala, and Thersa,
and Hegla, and Melcha,
and Noa were married to the
sons of their uncle by their
father
12 Of the family of Manasses,
who was the son of Joseph:
and the possession that
had been allotted to them, remained
in the tribe and family
of their father.
13 These are the commandments
and judgments,
which the Lord commanded
by the hand of Moses to the
children of Israel, in the
plains of Moab upon the
Jordan over-against Jericho.
