Numbers 36

1 And the heads of the fathers' houses of the family of the children 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 heads of the fathers' houses 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: 'The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto 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 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong; so will it be taken away 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 be, then will their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong; so will their inheritance 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 the LORD, saying: 'The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right.

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

6 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded 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.

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 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave every one 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 in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man 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 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave each one to its own 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 the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad.

Som Herren havde befalet Mose, saa gjorde Zelafehads Døtre.

11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons.

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

12 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.

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 the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at 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.
