4 Mosebog 36
1 Overhovederne for Fædrenehsene i Gileaditernes Slægt Gilead var en Søn af Manasses Søn Makir af Josefs Sønners Slægter trådte frem og talte for Moses og Øversterne, Overhovederne for Israelitternes Fædrenehuse,
And the heads of the fathers of the family of the sons 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 rulers, the heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel.
2 og sagde: "HERREN har pålagt min Herre at udskifte Landet mellem Israelitterne ved Lodkastning, og min Herre har i HERRENs Navn påbudt at give vor Frænde Zelofhads Arvelod til hans Døtre.
And they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel. And my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
3 Men hvis de nu indgår Ægteskab med Mænd, der hører til en anden af Israels Stammer, så unddrages deres Arvelod jo vore Fædres Arvelod, og således øges den Stammes Arvelod, som de kommer til at tilhøre, medens den Arvelod, der er tilfaldet os ved Lodkastning, formindskes;
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the sons 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 når Israelitterne får Jubelår, lægges deres Arvelod til den Stammes Arvelod, som de kommer til at tilhøre, og således unddrages deres Arvelod vor fædrene Stammes Arvelod."
And when the jubilee of the sons of Israel shall be, 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 Da udstedte Moses efter HERRENs Ord følgende Bud til Israelitterne: "Josefs Sønners Stamme har talt ret!
And Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak right.
6 Således er HERRENs Bud angående Zelofhads Døtre: De må indgå Ægteskab med hvem de ønsker, men det må kun være Mænd af deres Faders Stammes Slægt, de indgår Ægteskab med.
This is the thing which Jehovah commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best, only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married.
7 Thi ingen Arvelod, der tilhører Israel, må gå over fra en Stamme til en anden, men Israelitterne skal holde fast hver ved sin fædrene Stammes Arvelod.
So no inheritance of the sons of Israel shall remove from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall cling each one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 Enhver Datter, som får en Arvelod i en af Israelitternes Stammer, skal indgå Ægteskab med en Mand af sin fædrene Stammes Slægt, for at Israelitterne kan beholde hver sine Fædres Arvelod som Ejendom;
And every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the sons of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the sons of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 og ingen Arvelod må gå over fra den ene Stamme til den anden, men Israelitternes Stammer skal holde fast hver ved sin Arvelod!"
So no inheritance shall move from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall cling each one to his own inheritance.
10 Zelofhads Døtre gjorde da, som HERREN pålagde Moses,
Even as Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad,
11 idet Mala, Tirza, Hogla, Milka og Noa, Zelofhads Døtre, indgik Ægteskab med deres Farbrødres Sønner;
for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophedad, were married to their father's brothers' sons.
12 de indgik Ægteskab med Mænd, som hørte til Josefs Søn Manasses Sønners Slægter, så at deres Arvelod vedblev at tilhøre deres fædrene Slægts Stamme.
They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 Det er de Bud og Lovbud, HERREN gav Israelitterne ved Moses på Moabs Sletter ved Jordan over for Jeriko.
These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded by Moses to the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
