Numbers 36:1-3

Contemporary English Version

The Laws about Married Women and Land

36 One day the family leaders from the Gilead clan of the Manasseh tribe went to Moses and the other family leaders of Israel ^2 (A) and said, “Sir, the Lord has said that he will show^[a] what land each tribe will receive as their own. And the Lord has commanded you to give the daughters of our relative Zelophehad^[b] the land that he would have received. ³ But if they marry men from other tribes of Israel, the land they receive will become part of that tribe's inheritance and will no longer belong to us.
