8
Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the people of Isra'el is to become the wife of someone from the family of her father's tribe, so that every one of the people of Isra'el will stay in possession of his ancestors' inheritance.
9
Thus no inheritance will move from one tribe to another, for each of the tribes of the people of Isra'el will hold on to its own inheritance."
10
The daughters of Tz'lof'chad did as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
11
Machlah, Tirtzah, Hoglah, Milkah and No'ah all got married to sons of their father's brothers.
12
They were married into the families of the descendants of M'nasheh the son of Yosef, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of their father's family.
