2. One of the five daughters of Zelophehad. Because Zelophehad had no sons, his daughters petitioned Moses to allow them to receive their father’s inheritance in west Manasseh after their father’s death (Nm 26:33; 27:1-11; 36:5-13; Jos 17:3-4).

OET-RV NUM 26:33

33 Hefer’s son Tselofehad had no sons—only daughters named Mahlah, Noa, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirtsah.

OET-LV NUM 26:33

33 And_Tsəlofḩād/(Zelophehad) the_son_of Ḩēfer not they_belonged to_him/it sons if/because (if) daughters and_name_of the_daughters_of Tsəlofḩād was_Maḩlāh and_Noˊāh Ḩoglāh Milkāh and_Tirʦāh.

OET-RV NUM 27:1

27 Then the daughters of Tselofehad (son of Hefer, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Menasheh (Manasseh)) approached. Their names were Mahlah, Noa, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirtsah.

OET-RV NUM 27:2

2 They stood in front of Mosheh (Moses) and the priest Eleazar and all the leaders and the people there at the entrance to the sacred tent, and asked,

OET-RV NUM 27:3

3 “Our father died in the wilderness, although he wasn’t part of the group who joined Korah to rebel against Yahweh—it was for his own personal disobedience that he died. He didn’t have any sons

OET-RV NUM 27:4

4 but why should his family name disappear from our clan just because he had no sons? So give us some land like our father’s relatives will be getting.”

OET-RV NUM 27:5

5 So Mosheh took their case to Yahweh

OET-RV NUM 27:6

6 and he responded,

OET-RV NUM 27:7

7 “It’s right what Tselofehad’s daughters are saying. You must give them some land like their father’s relatives will be getting. Give them whatever would have been given to their father as his inheritance.

OET-RV NUM 27:8

8 Also, tell the people that if a man dies without sons, then his inheritance should go to his daughter(s).

OET-RV NUM 27:9

9 If he had no children, then it should go to his brothers,

OET-RV NUM 27:10

10 and if he has no brothers, then it should go to his father’s brothers.

OET-RV NUM 27:11

11 However, if his father had no brothers, then the inheritance should go to his nearest blood-relative to become his possession. That will become a permanent regulation for Yisrael (Israel), just as Yahweh has commanded.”

OET-LV NUM 27:1

27 And_ the_daughters_of Tsəlofḩād/(Zelophehad) the_son_of Ḩēfer the_son_of Gilˊād the_son_of Mākīr the_son_of Mənashsheh of_the_clans_of Mənashsheh the_son_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) _they_drew_near and_these were_the_names_of his_daughters_of_his Maḩlāh Noˊāh and_Ḩoglāh and_Milkāh and_Tirʦāh.

5 Then Mosheh gave a ruling to the Israelis in accordance with what Yahweh had told him, “These Yosefi men are correct.

OET-RV NUM 36:6

6 Yahweh’s command to Tselofehad’s daughters is that each of you may marry whoever you want as long as it’s someone from your own tribe.

OET-RV NUM 36:7

7 That way, land in Yisrael won’t move from tribe to tribe, because it will always stay as part of the inheritance given to that tribe.

OET-RV NUM 36:8

8 Any woman who inherits land can only marry someone from her own tribe, so that the people will always retain ownership of their tribal inheritance.

OET-RV NUM 36:9

9 That inheritance mustn’t pass from tribe to tribe, but each Israeli tribe must keep hold of its inheritance.”

OET-RV NUM 36:10

10 ⇔So Tselofehad’s daughters obeyed what Yahweh had told Mosheh,

OET-RV NUM 36:11

11 and the five daughters (Mahlah, Tirtsah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Noa) married their cousins on their father’s side.

OET-RV NUM 36:12

12 The men they married were from the Menasheh (Manasseh) tribe (Yosef’s (Joseph’s) son), so their land continued to belong to their father’s family and tribe.

OET-RV NUM 36:13

13 All the above were the commands and regulations that Yahweh ordered Mosheh to tell the Israelis, while they were camped on the Moav (Moab) plains beside the Yarden (Jordan) river opposite Yeriho (Jericho).

OET-LV NUM 36:5

5 And_ Mosheh _he/it_commanded DOM the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) on the_mouth_of YHWH to_say right the_tribe_of the_descendants_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) is_speaking.

10 Just_as YHWH he_had_commanded DOM Mosheh so the_daughters_of Tsəlofḩād/(Zelophehad) they_did.

3 But Tselofehad (son of Hefer, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Menasheh) had no sons—only daughters who were named Mahlah, Noa, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirtsah.

OET-RV JOS 17:4

4 They approached the priest Eleazar and Yehoshua (Joshua) and the other leaders and said, “Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses) to give us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So he gave them an inheritance (like he’d given their uncles), as Yahweh had instructed them.
