5. So Moses gave the people of Israel the following command from the Lord. He said, “What the tribe of Manasseh says is right,
6. and so the Lord says that the daughters of Zelophehad are free to marry anyone they wish but only within their own tribe.
7. The property of every Israelite will remain attached to his tribe.
8. Every woman who inherits property in an Israelite tribe must marry a man belonging to that tribe. In this way all Israelites will inherit the property of their ancestors,
9. and the property will not pass from one tribe to another. Each tribe will continue to possess its own property.”
