New Testament

Numbers 36 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

1. And the princes of the fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before the princes, the heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel,

2. and they said, The Lord commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel; and my lord was also commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad, our brother unto his daughters.

3. And if they become married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, then their inheritance shall be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe unto which they are received; so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

4. And when the jubilee of the sons of Israel shall come, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe unto which they are received; so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

5. Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken well.

6. This is the thing which the Lord commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry as they desire; but they shall marry only within the family of the tribe of their father

7. so that the inheritance of the sons of Israel shall not be passed from tribe to tribe; for each one of the sons of Israel shall cleave to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8. And any daughter, that possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the sons of Israel, shall marry one of the family of the tribe of her father so that each man of the sons of Israel may possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9. So that the inheritance shall not change from one tribe to another tribe, each one of the tribes of the sons of Israel shall cleave to his own inheritance.

10. As the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad.

11. And thus Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married the sons of their uncles.

12. They were women of the family of the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

13. These are the commandments and the rights which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses unto the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho.
