36 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 spake before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’ houses of the children of Israel: and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. 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. 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.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right. This is the thing which Jehovah doth command 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. 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. 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. So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave every one to his own inheritance.

10 Even as Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons. 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.

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

A terra das filhas de Zelofeade

36 Os chefes de família do clã de Gileade, filho de Maquir, neto de Manassés, um dos clãs dos descendentes de José, apresentaram-se diante de Moisés e dos chefes de clã de todos os israelitas, e disseram:

—Quando o SENHOR mandou você dar por sorteio a terra aos israelitas como herança, o SENHOR também ordenou que a parte da terra que correspondia a nosso irmão Zelofeade fosse dada às suas filhas. Mas quando elas se casarem com pessoas de outras tribos israelitas, sua herança será separada da herança dos nossos antepassados e passará a ser possessão da tribo na qual se casem. Assim perderemos a terra que recebemos por sorteio. Quando o ano de Jubileu chegar para os israelitas, sua herança será acrescentada à herança da tribo na que se casem e essa herança será separada da herança da tribo dos nossos antepassados.

Então Moisés deu esta ordem aos israelitas de acordo com a ordem do SENHOR:

—O que a tribo dos descendentes de José diz é justo. Isto é o que o SENHOR ordena a respeito das filhas de Zelofeade: elas poderão se casar com qualquer homem, sempre e quando seja alguém da mesma tribo do pai delas. Nenhuma parte da herança dos israelitas deverá ser transferida de uma tribo à outra; cada uma das tribos dos israelitas conservará sua própria herança. Toda mulher israelita que herde alguma terra deverá se casar com alguém da mesma tribo do pai dela. Assim os israelitas poderão receber em herança a terra dos seus antepassados. Nenhuma parte da herança dos israelitas deverá ser transferida de uma tribo à outra, mas cada uma das tribos dos israelitas manterá a sua própria herança.

10 As filhas de Zelofeade fizeram o que o SENHOR mandou a Moisés. 11 Maalá, Tirza, Hogla, Milca e Noa, as filhas de Zelofeade, se casaram com os filhos dos seus tios. 12 Elas se casaram dentro dos clãs dos descendentes de Manassés, filho de José. Dessa forma sua herança permaneceu na tribo do pai delas.

13 Essas foram as ordens e mandamentos que o SENHOR deu aos israelitas por meio de Moisés nas planícies de Moabe, perto do rio Jordão, em frente da cidade de Jericó.

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)
