:5. Moses answered the children of Israel, and said by the command of
the Lord: The tribe of the children of Joseph hath spoken rightly.
36:6. And this is the law promulgated by the Lord touching the daughters
of Salphaad: Let them marry to whom they will, only so that it be to men
of their own tribe.
36:7. Lest the possession of the children of Israel be mingled from
tribe to tribe. For all men shall marry wives of their own tribe and
kindred:
36:8. And all women shall take husbands of the same tribe: that the
inheritance may remain in the families.

36:12. Of the family of Manasses, who was the son of Joseph: and the
possession that had been allotted to them, remained in the tribe and
