Moses’ Decision
5 Then Moses gave a ruling[a] to the Israelites by the word[b] of the Lord: “What the tribe of the Josephites is saying is right. 6 This is what[c] the Lord has commanded for Zelophehad’s daughters: ‘Let them marry[d] whomever they think best,[e] only they must marry within the family of their father’s tribe. 7 In this way the inheritance of the Israelites will not be transferred[f] from tribe to tribe. But every one of the Israelites must retain the ancestral heritage.

New International Version
5 Then at the Lord’s command Moses gave this order to the Israelites: “What the tribe of the descendants of Joseph is saying is right. 6 This is what the Lord commands for Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within their father’s tribal clan. 7 No inheritance(A) in Israel is to pass from one tribe to another, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal inheritance of their ancestors.
