4 Mosebog 36
1 Og de Øverste for Fædrenehusene i Gileads Børns Slægt, hans, som var en Søn af Makir, Manasse Søn, af Josefs Børns Slægt, gik frem, og de talede for Mose Ansigt og for Fyrsternes Ansigt, dem, som vare de Øverste for Fædrenehusene blandt Israels Børn,
The heads of the fathers’ households of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel.
2 og de sagde: Herren har budet min Herre at give Israels Børn Landet til Arv ved Lod; og min Herre er befalet af Herren at give vor Broder Zelafehads Arv til hans Døtre;
They said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
3 men blive de en af de Sønner, som høre til de andre Israels Børns Stammer, til Hustruer, da vil deres Arv gaa bort fra vore Fædres Arv og lægges til den Stamme, som de gaa over til, og gaa bort fra vor Arvs Lod;
If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
4 og naar det bliver Jubelaar for Israels Børn, da lægges deres Arv til den Stammes Arv, som de gik over til; og dermed vil deres Arv gaa bort fra vore Fædres Stammes Arv.
When the jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
5 Og Mose bød Israels Børn efter Herrens Mund og sagde: Josefs Børns Stamme taler ret.
Moses commanded the children of Israel according to Yahweh’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what is right.
6 Dette er det Ord, som Herren byder om Zelafehads Døtre og siger: De maa vorde dem til Hustruer, som synes gode for deres Øjne, kun at de vorde dem til Hustruer, som ere af deres Fædres Stammes Slægtskab,
This is the thing which Yahweh commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them be married to whom they think best, only they shall marry into the family of the tribe of their father.
7 at Israels Børns Arv ej skal komme omkring fra en Stamme til en anden; men hver iblandt Israels Børn skal hænge ved sine Fædres Stammes Arv.
So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 Og hver Datter af Israels Børns Stammer, som arver nogen Arv, skal vorde en af sin Faders Stammes Slægtskab til Hustru, paa det Israels Børn kunne arve hver sine Fædres Arv,
Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may each possess the inheritance of his fathers.
9 og at en Arv ikke skal komme omkring fra en Stamme til en anden Stamme; men Israels Børns Stammer skulle hænge hver ved sin Arv.
So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’”
10 Som Herren havde befalet Mose, saa gjorde Zelafehads Døtre.
The daughters of Zelophehad did as Yahweh commanded Moses:
11 Og Mahela, Tirza og Hogla og Milka og Noa, Zelafehads Døtre, bleve deres Farbroders Sønners Hustruer.
for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.
12 Dem, som vare af Manasse Børns, Josefs Søns, Slægter, bleve de til Hustruer, og deres Arv blev hos deres Faders Slægtskabs Stamme.
They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. Their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 Disse ere de Bud og de Love, som Herren bød ved Mose for Israels Børn paa Moabiternes slette Marker, ved Jordanen over for Jeriko.
These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
