1 Then the chiefe fathers of the familie of the sonnes of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the families of the sones of Ioseph, came, & spake before Moses, & before the princes, the chiefe fathers of the children of Israel, 2 And saide, The Lorde commaunded my lord to giue the land to inherit by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commaunded by the Lorde, to giue the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother vnto his daughters. 3 If they bee married to any of the sonnes of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and shalbe put vnto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shalbe: so shall it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance. 4 Also when the Iubile of the children of Israel commeth, then shall their inheritance be put vnto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shall be: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
