36 At ang mga pangulo ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng mga anak ni Galaad, na anak ni Machir, na anak ni Manases, sa mga angkan ng mga anak ni Jose, ay nagsilapit, at nagsalita sa harap ni Moises at sa harap ng mga prinsipe, na mga pangulo sa mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng mga anak ni Israel:

At sinabi nila, Ang Panginoon ay nagutos sa aking panginoon na ibigay sa sapalaran ang lupain na pinakamana sa mga anak ni Israel: at inutusan din naman ng Panginoon ang aking panginoon na ibigay ang mana ni Salphaad na aming kapatid sa kaniyang mga anak na babae.

At kung sila'y magasawa sa kaninoman sa mga anak ng ibang mga lipi ng mga anak ni Israel ay aalisin nga ang mana nila na mula sa mana ng aming mga magulang, at sa idaragdag sa mana ng lipi na kinauukulan nila: sa gayo'y aalisin sa manang naukol sa amin.

At pagjujubileo ng mga anak ni Israel, ay idaragdag nga ang kanilang mana sa mana ng lipi na kanilang kinaukulan: sa gayo'y ang kanilang mana ay aalisin sa mana ng lipi ng aming mga magulang.

At iniutos ni Moises sa mga anak ni Israel ayon sa salita ng Panginoon na sinasabi, Ang lipi ng mga anak ni Jose ay nagsasalita ng matuwid.

Ito ang bagay na iniutos ng Panginoon tungkol sa mga anak na babae ni Salphaad, na sinasabi, Magasawa sila sa kaninomang kanilang magalingin; nguni't sa angkan ng lipi lamang ng kanilang ama magasawa sila.

Sa gayon ay hindi magkakalipatlipat ang mana ng mga anak ni Israel sa iba't ibang lipi: sapagka't ang mga anak ni Israel ay masasanib bawa't isa sa mana ng lipi ng kaniyang mga magulang.

At bawa't anak na babae na nagaari sa anomang lipi ng mga anak ni Israel ay magasawa sa isa ng angkan ng lipi ng kaniyang ama, upang ang mga anak ni Israel ay magmana bawa't isa ng mana ng kaniyang mga magulang.

Sa gayon ay hindi magkakalipatlipat ang mana sa ibang lipi; sapagka't ang mga lipi ng mga anak ni Israel ay masasanib bawa't isa sa kaniyang sariling mana.

10 Kung paanong iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises, ay gayong ginawa ng mga anak na babae ni Salphaad:

11 Sapagka't si Maala, si Tirsa, si Holga, at si Milca, at si Noa, na mga anak na babae ni Salphaad ay nagsipagasawa sa mga anak ng mga kapatid ng kanilang ama.

12 Sila'y nag-asawa sa mga angkan ng mga anak ni Manases na anak ni Jose; at ang kanilang mana ay naiwan sa lipi ng angkan ng ama nila.

13 Ito ang mga utos at ang mga kahatulan, na iniutos ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Moises sa mga anak ni Israel sa mga kapatagan ng Moab sa tabi ng Jordan sa Jerico.

The Inheritance of Zelophehad’s Daughters

36 The family heads from the clan of the descendants of Gilead – the son of Machir, son of Manasseh(A) – who were from the clans of the sons of Joseph, approached and addressed Moses and the leaders who were heads of the Israelite families. They said, ‘The Lord commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the Israelites. My lord was further commanded by the Lord to give our brother Zelophehad’s inheritance to his daughters.(B) If they marry any of the men from the other Israelite tribes, their inheritance will be taken away from our fathers’ inheritance and added to that of the tribe into which they marry. Therefore, part of our allotted inheritance would be taken away. When the Jubilee(C) comes for the Israelites, their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry, and their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our ancestral tribe.’

So Moses commanded the Israelites at the word of the Lord, ‘What the tribe of Joseph’s descendants says is right. This is what the Lord has commanded concerning Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they like provided they marry within a clan of their ancestral tribe. No inheritance belonging to the Israelites is to transfer from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of his ancestral tribe.(D) Any daughter who possesses an inheritance from an Israelite tribe must marry someone from the clan of her ancestral tribe, so that each of the Israelites will possess the inheritance of his fathers. No inheritance is to transfer from one tribe to another, because each of the Israelite tribes is to retain its inheritance.’

10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married cousins on their father’s side. 12 They married men from the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.

13 These are the commands and ordinances the Lord commanded the Israelites through Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

Inheritance of Zelophehad’s Daughters(A)

36 The family heads of the clan of Gilead(B) son of Makir,(C) the son of Manasseh, who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph,(D) came and spoke before Moses and the leaders,(E) the heads of the Israelite families. They said, “When the Lord commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot,(F) he ordered you to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad(G) to his daughters. Now suppose they marry men from other Israelite tribes; then their inheritance will be taken from our ancestral inheritance and added to that of the tribe they marry into. And so part of the inheritance allotted to us will be taken away. When the Year of Jubilee(H) for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry, and their property will be taken from the tribal inheritance of our ancestors.”

Then at the Lord’s command Moses gave this order to the Israelites: “What the tribe of the descendants of Joseph is saying is right. This is what the Lord commands for Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within their father’s tribal clan. No inheritance(I) in Israel is to pass from one tribe to another, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal inheritance of their ancestors. Every daughter who inherits land in any Israelite tribe must marry someone in her father’s tribal clan,(J) so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of their ancestors. No inheritance may pass from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe is to keep the land it inherits.”

10 So Zelophehad’s daughters did as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah and Noah(K)—married their cousins on their father’s side. 12 They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in their father’s tribe and clan.(L)

13 These are the commands and regulations the Lord gave through Moses(M) to the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.(N)
