1And the head fathers of the family of the children of Gelad, son of Makir, son of Manasheh, from the family of Menasheh, son of Yoseph, approached and they spoke before Moshe and before Eliazer the Priest and before the Princes of the assembly, the Heads of the fathers of the children of Israel: 2And they said, “LORD JEHOVAH commanded our Lord to give the land for an inheritance by lots to the children of Israel, and our Lord had been commanded from LORD JEHOVAH to give the inheritance of Tsalphkhad our brother to his daughters. 3And if they will be wives to another of the tribes of the children of Israel, their inheritance will be subtracted from the inheritance of their fathers and will be added on to the inheritance of the tribes that will marry them and it will be subtracted from the portion of our inheritance. 4And if there shall be a restitution for the children of Israel, their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribes that will have them, and their inheritance will be subtracted from the inheritance of the tribes of their fathers.”

5And Moshe commanded the children of Israel from the word of the mouth of LORD JEHOVAH and said: “The tribe of the children of Yoseph is speaking justly. 6This answer LORD JEHOVAH commanded concerning the daughters of Tsalphkhad and said, ‘To whomever is pleasing in their eyes let them be wives, however let them belong to the tribe of the family of their fathers. 7And the inheritance of the children of Israel shall not go around from tribe to another tribe, but each man of the children of Israel shall cleave to the inheritance of the tribe of his father. 8And every daughter who inherits an inheritance from a tribe of the children of Israel, she will be a wife for one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel, each man, may inherit the inheritance of his fathers. 9And an inheritance shall not go around from tribe to another tribe, but a man shall be joined by his inheritance to the tribes of the children Israel.”

10And as LORD JEHOVAH commanded Moshe, thus the daughters of Tsalphkhad did: 11And Makhla and Tartsa and Khagla and Melka and Yaa, the daughters of Tsalphkhad, were married to the sons of their father's brothers: 12They were wives to families of the children of Manasheh, son of Yoseph, and their inheritance was by the tribe of the family of their father.

13These are the commandments and the laws and judgments that LORD JEHOVAH commanded by the agency of Moshe for the children of Israel in the plain of Moab by the Jordan of Yerikho.
