Numbers 36

And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:

The leaders of the Gilead family, descendants of Machir, Manasseh, and Joseph's sons, talked to Moses and the other important leaders about their concerns.

And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

They said, "The Lord told our leader to give the land as an inheritance to the children of Israel through a random drawing. Our leader was also instructed by the Lord to give Zelophehad's inheritance to his daughters."

And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

If they marry someone from another tribe of Israel, their inheritance will be removed from our ancestors' inheritance and given to the tribe they join. This will be taken from our shared inheritance.

And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

When the Jewish people celebrate a special festival, their land will become part of the tribe that welcomes them. Their original land will then belong to a different tribe.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

Moses instructed the Israelites based on God's message, stating that the tribe of Joseph's descendants have done well.

This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

The LORD says that the daughters of Zelophehad should marry whoever they choose, but they must marry within their father's tribe's family.

So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

The land belonging to the Israeli people won't be transferred between different tribes. Each person in the Israeli tribes will stay with their ancestral tribe's land.

And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.

Any girl with a family inheritance in an Israel tribe must marry within her father's tribe. This way, the children of Israel can all enjoy their ancestors' inheritances.

Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.

In simpler terms, this verse means that the land given to each tribe of the Israelites should not be taken away and given to a different tribe. Each tribe must stay on their own piece of land.

Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

Just as the LORD instructed Moses, the daughters of Zelophehad also followed through.

For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons:

For Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, got married to their uncles' sons.

And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

They got married with the families of Manasseh's children, who was Joseph's son. Their land stayed in the tribe where their dad's family belonged.

These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

These are God's rules that He told Moses for the people called Israel at a place called Moab, close to a river named Jordan, near a city called Jericho.
