Numbers 36
1 Now the family heads of the clan of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, one of the clans of Joseph, approached Moses and the leaders who were the heads of the Israelite families and addressed them,
约瑟的后裔，玛拿西的孙子，玛吉的儿子基列，他子孙中的诸族长来到摩西和作首领的以色列人族长面前，说：
2 saying, “When the LORD commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot, He also commanded him to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.
“耶和华曾吩咐我主拈阄分地给以色列人为业，我主也受了耶和华的吩咐将我们兄弟西罗非哈的产业分给他的众女儿。
3 But if they marry any of the men from the other tribes of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the portion of our fathers and added to the tribe into which they marry. So our allotted inheritance would be taken away.
她们若嫁以色列别支派的人，就必将我们祖宗所遗留的产业加在她们丈夫支派的产业中。这样，我们拈阄所得的产业就要减少了。
4 And when the Jubilee for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to the tribe into which they marry and taken away from the tribe of our fathers.”
到了以色列人的禧年，这女儿的产业就必加在她们丈夫支派的产业上。这样，我们祖宗支派的产业就减少了。”
5 So at the word of the LORD, Moses commanded the Israelites: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks correctly.
摩西照耶和华的话吩咐以色列人说：“约瑟支派的人说得有理。
6 This is what the LORD has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: They may marry anyone they please, provided they marry within a clan of the tribe of their father.
论到西罗非哈的众女儿，耶和华这样吩咐说：她们可以随意嫁人，只是要嫁同宗支派的人。
7 No inheritance in Israel may be transferred from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
这样，以色列人的产业就不从这支派归到那支派，因为以色列人要各守各祖宗支派的产业。
8 Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.
凡在以色列支派中得了产业的女子必作同宗支派人的妻，好叫以色列人各自承受他祖宗的产业。
9 No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, for each tribe of Israel must retain its inheritance.”
这样，他们的产业就不从这支派归到那支派，因为以色列支派的人要各守各的产业。”
10 So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西，西罗非哈的众女儿就怎样行。
11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to cousins on their father’s side.
西罗非哈的女儿玛拉、得撒、曷拉、密迦、挪阿都嫁了他们伯叔的儿子。
12 They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.
她们嫁入约瑟儿子、玛拿西子孙的族中；她们的产业仍留在同宗支派中。
13 These are the commandments and ordinances that the LORD gave the Israelites through Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
这是耶和华在摩押平原—约旦河边、耶利哥对面—借着摩西所吩咐以色列人的命令典章。
