Numbers 36:3

36:3 Now if they should be married to one of the men ³  from another Israelite tribe, their inheritance would be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry. ⁴  As a result, it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

¹ tn The verb is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive: “command…and they will give,” or “that they give.”

² tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Israelites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn “Men” is understood; it says “to one from the sons of the tribes of the Israelites for a wife,” or if he has her for a wife.

⁴ tn Heb “which they will be to them,” meaning, to those who have them, i.e., the marriages.
