4 And when the Jubilee of the Israelites is to take place,[a] their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our ancestral tribe.”[b]
Moses’ Decision
5 Then Moses gave a ruling[c] to the Israelites by the word[d] of the Lord: “What the tribe of the Josephites is saying is right. 6 This is what[e] the Lord has commanded for Zelophehad’s daughters: ‘Let them marry[f] whomever they think best,[g] only they must marry within the family of their father’s tribe.
