Numbers 36:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 And they said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land by lot as an inheritance to the Israelites,[a] and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. 3 But if they become wives to one of the sons from another tribe of the Israelites,[b] their inheritance will disappear from the inheritance of our ancestors,[c] and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; the lot of our inheritance would disappear. 4 When the Jubilee of the Israelites[d] comes,[e] it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; and their inheritance will disappear from the tribe of our father.”

New International Version
2 They said, “When the Lord commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot,(A) he ordered you to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad(B) to his daughters. 3 Now suppose they marry men from other Israelite tribes; then their inheritance will be taken from our ancestral inheritance and added to that of the tribe they marry into. And so part of the inheritance allotted to us will be taken away. 4 When the Year of Jubilee(C) for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry, and their property will be taken from the tribal inheritance of our ancestors.”
