Numbers 36
New Living Translation
Women Who Inherit Property
36 Then the heads of the clans of Gilead—descendants of Makir, son of Manasseh, son of Joseph—came to Moses and the family leaders of Israel with a petition. 2 They said, “Sir, the Lord instructed you to divide the land by sacred lot among the people of Israel. You were told by the Lord to give the grant of land owned by our brother Zelophehad to his daughters. 3 But if they marry men from another tribe, their grants of land will go with them to the tribe into which they marry. In this way, the total area of our tribal land will be reduced. 4 Then when the Year of Jubilee comes, their portion of land will be added to that of the new tribe, causing it to be lost forever to our ancestral tribe.”
5 So Moses gave the Israelites this command from the Lord: “The claim of the men of the tribe of Joseph is legitimate. 6 This is what the Lord commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry anyone they like, as long as it is within their own ancestral tribe. 7 None of the territorial land may pass from tribe to tribe, for all the land given to each tribe must remain within the tribe to which it was first allotted. 8 The daughters throughout the tribes of Israel who are in line to inherit property must marry within their tribe, so that all the Israelites will keep their ancestral property. 9 No grant of land may pass from one tribe to another; each tribe of Israel must keep its allotted portion of land.”
10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah all married cousins on their father’s side. 12 They married into the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. Thus, their inheritance of land remained within their ancestral tribe.
13 These are the commands and regulations that the Lord gave to the people of Israel through Moses while they were camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.

Herencia de las mujeres
36 Los jefes de familia de los clanes de Galaad, descendiente directo de Maquir, Manasés y José, fueron a ver a Moisés y a los jefes de familia israelitas, y les dijeron:
2 —El Señor ordenó que tú, Moisés, repartieras por suertes entre los israelitas el territorio que le ha de tocar a cada uno, y también te ordenó que la parte que correspondía a Selofhad, que era de nuestra familia, se la dieras a sus hijas. 3 Pero si ellas se casan con hombres de otra tribu israelita, la tierra que les tocó a ellas dejará de pertenecer a nuestra tribu y pasará a ser de la tribu de aquellos con quienes ellas se casen. Así se nos irá quitando parte de lo que nos tocó en suerte. 4 Luego, cuando llegue el año de liberación en Israel, la tierra de ellas pasará a ser definitivamente de aquella otra tribu y dejará de pertenecer a la nuestra.
5 Entonces Moisés, según las instrucciones que le dio el Señor, ordenó lo siguiente a los israelitas:
—Los hombres de la tribu de José tienen razón. 6 El Señor permitirá que las hijas de Selofhad se casen con quien quieran, con tal de que sea alguien de un clan de la tribu a la que ellas pertenecen por parte de padre. 7 La tierra que a cada uno en Israel le ha tocado no debe pasar de una tribu a otra; todo israelita debe conservar su herencia en su propia tribu. 8 Si una mujer de cualquier tribu hereda tierras, deberá casarse con un hombre de un clan de su misma tribu. Así cada israelita conservará la herencia recibida de sus padres. 9 Ninguna herencia debe pasar de una tribu a otra. Cada tribu de Israel debe conservar el territorio que le tocó.
10-11 Entonces Mahlá, Tirsá, Hoglá, Milcá y Noá, hijas de Selofhad, hicieron lo que el Señor le había ordenado a Moisés, y se casaron con hijos de sus tíos paternos, 12 que eran descendientes de Manasés, hijo de José. Así su herencia quedó dentro de la tribu a la que pertenecía su padre.
13 Éstas fueron las órdenes y normas que el Señor dio a los israelitas por medio de Moisés en las llanuras de Moab, junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó.
Numbers 36
New International Version
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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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.”
5 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. 6 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. 7 No inheritance(I) in Israel is to pass from one tribe to another, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal inheritance of their ancestors. 8 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. 9 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)
