< 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,
Then the chiefe fathers of the familie of the sonnes of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the families of the sones of Ioseph, came, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chiefe fathers of the children 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 saide, The Lord commanded my lord to giue the land to inherit by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the Lord, to giue the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother vnto 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;
If they bee married to any of the sonnes of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and shalbe put vnto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shalbe: so shall it 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."
Also when the Iubile of the children of Israel commeth, then shall their inheritance be put vnto the inheritance of the tribe whereof they shall be: so shall their inheritance 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!
Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sonnes of Ioseph haue said well.
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 that the Lord hath commanded, concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, They shall be wiues, to whome they thinke best, onely to the familie of the tribe of their father shall they marry:
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 shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remoue from tribe to tribe, for euery one of the children of Israel shall ioyne himselfe 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 euery daughter that possesseth any inheritance of the tribes of the children of Israel, shalbe wife vnto one of the familie of the tribe of her father: that the children of Israel may enioye euery man the inheritance of their 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!"
Neither shall the inheritance go about from tribe to tribe: but euery one of the tribes of the childre of Israel shall sticke to his own inheritace.
10 Zelofhads Døtre gjorde da, som HERREN pålagde Moses,
As the Lord 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 Zelophehad were married vnto their fathers brothers sonnes,
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 wiues to certaine of the families of the sonnes of Manasseh the sonne of Ioseph: so their inheritance remained in the tribe of the familie 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 commandements and lawes which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, vnto the children of Israel in the plaine of Moab, by Iorden toward Iericho.
