Numbers 36:1

CHAPTER XXXVI

The inconveniences which might be produced by daughters,

inheritances, marrying out of their own tribe, remedied on the

recommendation of certain chiefs of the tribe of Joseph, who

stated the case of the daughters of Zelophehad, 1-4.

The daughters of Zelophehad are commanded to marry in their own

tribe, 5, 6;

which is to be an ordinance in all similar circumstances, 7-9.

The daughters of Zelophehad marry their father's brother's sons,

and thus their inheritance is preserved in their own tribe,

10-12.

The conclusion of the commandments given by the Lord to the

Israelites in the plains of Moab, 13.
