Numbers 36

1 And the chief fathers of families 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 princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:

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,

2 and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

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;

3 Now if they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

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;

4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall come, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

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.

5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

Og Mose bød Israels Børn efter Herrens Mund og sagde: Josefs Børns Stamme taler ret.

6 This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry whom they please; only they shall marry one of the tribe of their father,

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,

7 that no inheritance of the children of Israel pass from tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israel shall keep to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

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.

8 And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance among the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be married to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every one the inheritance of his fathers,

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,

9 and the inheritance shall not pass from one tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep to his inheritance.

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.

10 Even as Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad;

Som Herren havde befalet Mose, saa gjorde Zelafehads Døtre.

11 and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their uncles' sons.

Og Mahela, Tirza og Hogla og Milka og Noa, Zelafehads Døtre, bleve deres Farbroders Sønners Hustruer.

12 To those that were of the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph were they married; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

Dem, som vare af Manasse Børns, Josefs Søns, Slægter, bleve de til Hustruer, og deres Arv blev hos deres Faders Slægtskabs Stamme.

13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded through Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho.

Disse ere de Bud og de Love, som Herren bød ved Mose for Israels Børn paa Moabiternes slette Marker, ved Jordanen over for Jeriko.
