1Izinhloko zemindeni yabantwana bakwaGileyadi indodana kaMagiri kaManase, owemindeni yamadodana kaJosefa, zasondela, zakhuluma phambi kukaMose naphambi kwezikhulu, izinhloko zawoyise. Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli:
2Bathi: “INkosi yayala inkosi yami ukuba inike abantwana bakwa-Israyeli izwe libe yifa ngenkatho; futhi inkosi yami yayiyaliwe nguJehova ukuba ifa lomfowethu uSelofehadi linike amadodakazi akhe.
3Uma egana enye yamadodana ezinye izizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ifa lawo liyosuswa efeni lawobaba, lilethwe efeni lesizwe athathwa kuso.
4Kuyakuthi lapho umnyaka wejubili labantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ifa labo lengezwe efeni lesizwe athathwa kuso; kanjalo ifa labo liyakususwa efeni lesizwe sawobaba.
5UMose wabayala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli njengezwi likaJehova, wathi: “Isizwe sabantwana bakwaJosefa sikhulume kahle.
6Nansi indaba iNkosi eyayala ngayo mayelana namadodakazi kaSelofehadi ngokuthi: Mawagane abona kufanele; bangagana kuphela ohlwini lozalo lwesizwe sikayise.
7Ngakho ifa labantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngeke lisuke kwesinye isizwe liye kwesinye, ngoba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli kumelwe balondoloze yilowo nalowo efeni lesizwe soyise.
8Yonke indodakazi enefa kunoma yisiphi isizwe sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kumelwe ibe ngumfazi wozalo lwesizwe sikayise, ukuze abantwana bakwa-Israyeli badle yilowo nalowo efeni loyise.
9Ifa aliyikuphuma kwesinye isizwe liye kwesinye isizwe; kodwa izizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kumelwe zigcine yileso naleso efeni laso.
10Njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose, enze njalo amadodakazi kaSelofehadi;
11Ngokuba uMagila, noTirisa, noHogila, noMilka, noNowa, amadodakazi kaSelofehadi, agana amadodana abafowabo bakayise.
12Baganwa ezizukulwaneni zamadodana kaManase indodana kaJosefa, ifa labo lahlala esizweni sesizukulwane sikayise.
13Le yimiyalo nezahlulelo uJehova ayala ngakho ngesandla sikaMose kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli emathafeni akwaMowabi ngaseJordani ngaseJeriko.
