Numbers 36:7

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.

So shall not the inheritance {H5159} of the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478} remove {H5437} from tribe {H4294} to tribe {H4294}: for every one {H376} of the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478} shall keep {H1692} himself to the inheritance {H5159} of the tribe {H4294} of his fathers {H1}.

In this way no inheritance of the people of Isra'el will move from one tribe to another; for each of the people of Isra'el is to hold on to the land for inheritance belonging to his father's tribe.

No inheritance in Israel may be transferred from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
