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,
Accesserunt autem et principes familiarum Galaad filii Machir, filii Manasse de stirpe filiorum Ioseph: locutique sunt Moysi coram principibus Israel, atque dixerunt:
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.
Tibi domino nostro præcepit Dominus ut Terram sorte divideres filiis Israel, et ut filiabus Salphaad fratris nostri dares possessionem debitam patri:
3 But if they marry any of the men from the other tribes of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the portion of our fathers and added to the tribe into which they marry.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.
quas si alterius tribus homines uxores acceperint, sequetur possessio sua, et translata ad aliam tribum de nostra hereditate minuetur.
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.”
Atque ita fiet, ut cum Iubilæus, id est, quinquagesimus annus remissionis advenerit, confundatur sortium distributio, et aliorum possessio ad alios transeat.
5 So at the word of the LORD, Moses commanded the Israelites: “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks correctly.
Respondit Moyses filiis Israel, et Domino præcipiente, ait: Recte tribus filiorum Ioseph locuta est.
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.
Et hæc lex super filiabus Salphaad a Domino promulgata est: Nubant quibus volunt, tantum ut suæ tribus hominibus:
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.
ne commisceatur possessio filiorum Israel de tribu in tribum. Omnes enim viri ducent uxores de tribu et cognatione sua:
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.
et cunctæ feminæ de eadem tribu maritos accipient: ut hereditas permaneat in familiis,
9 No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, for each tribe of Israel must retain its inheritance.”
nec sibi misceantur tribus, sed ita maneant ut a Domino separatæ sunt.
10 So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Feceruntque filiæ Salphaad ut fuerat imperatum:
11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to cousins on their father’s side.
et nupserunt Maala, et Thersa, et Hegla, et Melcha, et Noa filiis patrui sui
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.
de familia Manasse, qui fuit filius Ioseph: et possessio, quæ illis fuerat attributa, mansit in tribu et familia patris earum.
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.
Hæc sunt mandata atque iudicia, quæ mandavit Dominus per manum Moysi ad filios Israel, in campestribus Moab supra Iordanem contra Iericho.
