1 and to present: come head: leader [the] father to/for family son: descendant/people Gilead son: child Machir son: child Manasseh from family son: descendant/people Joseph and to speak: speak to/for face: before Moses and to/for face: before [the] leader head: leader father to/for son: descendant/people Israel
The family leaders of the clan of Gilead of the tribe of Manasseh went to Moses/me and the other family leaders of the Israeli people.
2 and to say [obj] lord my to command LORD to/for to give: give [obj] [the] land: country/planet in/on/with inheritance in/on/with allotted to/for son: descendant/people Israel and lord my to command in/on/with LORD to/for to give: give [obj] inheritance Zelophehad brother: male-sibling our to/for daughter his
They said to Moses/me, “Yahweh commanded you, our leader, to apportion the land to the Israeli tribes by throwing (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide [which group would get which area]. Yahweh also commanded you to give the land that belonged to our fellow Israeli Zelophehad to his daughters.
3 and to be to/for one from son: descendant/people tribe son: descendant/people Israel to/for woman: wife and to dimish inheritance their from inheritance father our and to add upon inheritance [the] tribe which to be to/for them and from allotted inheritance our to dimish
But if his daughters marry men from the other Israeli tribes, that land will no longer belong to our tribe. People of other tribes will get it. So some of our land will no longer belong to us.
4 and if to be [the] jubilee/horn to/for son: descendant/people Israel and to add inheritance their upon inheritance [the] tribe which to be to/for them and from inheritance tribe father our to dimish inheritance their
When the Year of Celebration comes, [when all the land that has been bought by someone is returned to its original owners], the land that belonged to Zelophehad will belong to the tribes of the men that his daughters marry. So some of our land, the land that we received from our fathers, will be taken from us, [and we will never own it again].”
5 and to command Moses [obj] son: descendant/people Israel upon lip: word LORD to/for to say right tribe son: descendant/people Joseph to speak: speak
Yahweh told Moses/me what to reply to them, so Moses/I said this to them: “These men from the tribe of Manasseh are right.
6 this [the] word: thing which to command LORD to/for daughter Zelophehad to/for to say to/for pleasant in/on/with eye: appearance their to be to/for woman: wife surely to/for family tribe father their to be to/for woman: wife
This is what Yahweh is saying to the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Each of you may marry anyone you want to, but you must marry only someone from your own tribe.’
7 and not to turn: turn inheritance to/for son: descendant/people Israel from tribe to(wards) tribe for man: anyone in/on/with inheritance tribe father his to cleave son: descendant/people Israel
In that way, the land that belongs to Israelis will not be passed from one tribe to another tribe. Each Israeli will keep the land in the tribe that belonged to his ancestors.
8 and all daughter to possess: possess inheritance from tribe son: descendant/people Israel to/for one from family tribe father her to be to/for woman: wife because to possess: possess son: descendant/people Israel man: anyone inheritance father his
A woman who inherits her father’s land may get married, but she must marry someone from her own tribe. In that way, every Israeli will keep the land that belonged to his ancestors.
9 and not to turn: turn inheritance from tribe to/for tribe another for man: anyone in/on/with inheritance his to cleave tribe son: descendant/people Israel
The land must not be passed from one tribe to another tribe. Each Israeli tribe must keep the land that it received from its ancestors.”
10 like/as as which to command LORD [obj] Moses so to make: do daughter Zelophehad
Zelophehad’s daughters obeyed what Yahweh told Moses/me.

The five daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah—married their cousins, their father’s relatives.
12 from family son: descendant/people Manasseh son: child Joseph to be to/for woman: wife and to be inheritance their upon tribe family father their
The men whom they married were from the tribe of Manasseh, so their land continued to belong to their father’s family and tribe.
13 these [the] commandment and [the] justice: judgement which to command LORD in/on/with hand: by Moses to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with Plains (of Moab) (Plains of) Moab upon Jordan Jericho
Those were the commands [DOU] that Yahweh gave to Moses/me to tell to the Israelis, while they/we were on the plains of the Moab region, close to the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
