民數記 36
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
女子繼承產業的律例
36 基列是約瑟之子瑪拿西的孫子，瑪吉的兒子。他宗族中的各族長來見摩西和做以色列人首領的各族長，說： 2 「耶和華曾吩咐我主用抽籤的方式把土地分給以色列人，還吩咐我主將我們兄弟西羅非哈的產業分給他的女兒們。 3 但如果她們嫁給其他支派的人，從我們祖業中分給她們的產業就會歸入她們夫家的支派。這樣的話，我們抽籤分到的土地就會減少。 4 到了以色列人的禧年，這些女兒的產業就會歸給她們丈夫的支派，我們支派的祖業就會失去她們那份產業。」
5 摩西照耶和華的話吩咐以色列人說：「約瑟支派的人說的對。 6 關於西羅非哈的女兒們，耶和華說她們可以自由嫁人，但必須嫁給本支派的人。 7 以色列人的產業不可從一個支派轉到另一個支派，各支派必須守住本支派的祖業。 8 繼承了產業的女子必須嫁給本支派的人，以便以色列人都能守住自己的祖業。 9 以色列人的產業不可從一個支派轉到另一個支派，各支派必須守住本支派的產業。」
10 於是，西羅非哈的女兒們遵行了耶和華對摩西的吩咐。 11 瑪拉、得撒、曷拉、密迦和挪阿都嫁給了她們叔伯的兒子， 12 即約瑟之子瑪拿西支派的人。這樣，她們的產業仍留在本支派中。
13 以上是在耶利哥對面、約旦河邊的摩押平原，耶和華藉摩西頒佈給以色列人的命令和律例。

女繼承人之結婚條例
36 約瑟後裔的家族中，有瑪拿西的孫子、瑪吉的兒子基列的子孫，他們族中的首領都前來，在摩西面前，在各家族作首領的領袖面前，和在以色列人面前說： 2 “耶和華曾經吩咐我主要憑抽籤把地分給以色列人為業；我主也受了耶和華的吩咐，要把我們兄弟西羅非哈的產業分給他的眾女兒。 3 但是，如果她們嫁給以色列中別的支派的人，她們的產業就必從我們祖宗的產業中被取去，加在他們丈夫支派的產業上；這樣，我們抽籤所得的產業就失去了。 4 到了以色列人的禧年，她們的產業就要加在她們丈夫支派的產業上；這樣，她們的產業就要從我們祖宗支派的產業中被拿去了。”
5 摩西照著耶和華的話，吩咐以色列說：“約瑟支派的人說得對。 6 論到西羅非哈的眾女兒，耶和華吩咐的話是這樣：‘她們可以隨意嫁自己喜歡的人，但是，只能嫁給同族同支派的人作妻子。 7 這樣，以色列人的產業，就不會從一個支派轉到另一個支派去；因為以色列人要各自守住自己祖宗支派的產業。 8 從以色列支派中得了產業的女子，要嫁給自己祖宗支派的人作妻子，好使以色列人可以各自承受自己祖宗的產業。 9 這樣，以色列人的產業，就不會從一個支派轉到另一個支派去；因為以色列人的支派要各自守住自己的產業。’”
10 耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西，西羅非哈的眾女兒就怎樣行。 11 西羅非哈的女兒瑪拉、得撒、曷拉、密迦、挪阿，都嫁給了自己叔伯的兒子作妻子。 12 她們嫁給了約瑟的兒子瑪拿西子孫家族的人作妻子；她們的產業仍然留在自己的支派中。 13 這是耶和華在耶利哥對面，約旦河邊的摩押平原，藉著摩西向以色列人吩咐的命令和典章。
Numbers 36
New American Standard Bible
Inheritance by Marriage
36 (A)Now the heads of the fathers’ households of the family of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came forward and spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the heads of the fathers’ households of the sons of Israel, 2 and they said, “The Lord commanded my lord to give the land by lot to the sons of Israel as an inheritance, and my lord (B)was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters. 3 But if they [a]marry one of the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so it will be withdrawn from our allotted inheritance. 4 And when the (C)jubilee of the sons of Israel takes place, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; so their inheritance will be withdrawn from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
5 Then Moses commanded the sons of Israel in accordance with the [b]word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph is right in its statements. 6 (D)This is [c]what the Lord has commanded regarding the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry [d]whomever they wish; only they must marry within the family of the tribe of their father.’ 7 So (E)no inheritance of the sons of Israel will [e]be transferred from tribe to tribe, for the sons of Israel shall each [f]retain possession of the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 (F)And every daughter who comes into possession of an inheritance of any tribe of the sons of Israel shall marry one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel may each possess the inheritance of his fathers. 9 So no inheritance will [g]be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall each [h]retain possession of its own inheritance.”
10 Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did: 11 (G)Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad married their uncles’ sons. 12 They married those from the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance [i]remained with the tribe of the family of their father.
13 (H)These are the commandments and the ordinances which the Lord commanded to the sons of Israel through Moses in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
