5 Moses answered the sons of Israel, and, at the instruction of the Lord, he said: 'The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken correctly.
6 And so, this is the law which has been promulgated by the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whomever they may wish, but only among the men of their own tribe,
7 lest the possession of the sons of Israel become commingled, from tribe to tribe. For all men shall take wives from their own tribe and kinship;
8 and all women shall take husbands from their same tribe, so that the inheritance may remain within the families,
9 and so that the tribes may not be mingled together, but may remain such as they were separated by the Lord.'
