and rebelled against Moses, along with some of the Israelites, 250 leaders<n id="1" /> of the community, chosen from the assembly,<n id="2" /> famous men.<n id="3" />

For they are entirely given<n id="1" /> to me from among the Israelites. I have taken them for myself instead of<n id="2" /> all who open the womb, the firstborn sons of all the Israelites.

<p class="bodytext">Just then<n id="1" /> one of the Israelites came and brought to his brothers<n id="2" /> a Midianite woman in the plain view of Moses and of<n id="3" /> the whole community of the Israelites, while they<n id="4" /> were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

Now if they should be married to one of the men<n id="1" /> 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.<n id="2" /> As a result, it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
