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. 2 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) 3 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. 4 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.”
5 So Moses commanded the Israelites at the word of the Lord, “What the tribe of Joseph’s descendants says is right. 6 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. 7 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) 8 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. 9 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 across from Jericho.

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。

Marriage of Female Heirs
36 Now the chief fathers of the families of the (A)children of Gilead the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and (B)spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the chief fathers of the children of Israel. 2 And they said: (C)“The Lord commanded my lord Moses to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel, and (D)my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters. 3 Now if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be (E)taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry; so it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 4 And when (F)the Jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry; so their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
5 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying: (G)“What the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks is right. 6 This is what the Lord commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them [a]marry whom they think best, (H)but they may marry only within the family of their father’s tribe.’ 7 So the inheritance of the children of Israel shall not change hands from tribe to tribe, for every one of the children of Israel shall (I)keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And (J)every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be the wife of one of the family of her father’s tribe, so that the children of Israel each may possess the inheritance of his fathers. 9 Thus no inheritance shall change hands from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel shall keep its own inheritance.”
10 Just as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad; 11 (K)for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to the sons of their father’s brothers. 12 They were married into the families of the children of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of their father’s family.
13 These are the commandments and the judgments which the Lord commanded the children of Israel by the hand of Moses (L)in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.

女子继承产业的律例
36 基列是约瑟之子玛拿西的孙子，玛吉的儿子。他宗族中的各族长来见摩西和做以色列人首领的各族长，说： 2 “耶和华曾吩咐我主用抽签的方式把土地分给以色列人，还吩咐我主将我们兄弟西罗非哈的产业分给他的女儿们。 3 但如果她们嫁给其他支派的人，从我们祖业中分给她们的产业就会归入她们夫家的支派。这样的话，我们抽签分到的土地就会减少。 4 到了以色列人的禧年，这些女儿的产业就会归给她们丈夫的支派，我们支派的祖业就会失去她们那份产业。”
5 摩西照耶和华的话吩咐以色列人说：“约瑟支派的人说的对。 6 关于西罗非哈的女儿们，耶和华说她们可以自由嫁人，但必须嫁给本支派的人。 7 以色列人的产业不可从一个支派转到另一个支派，各支派必须守住本支派的祖业。 8 继承了产业的女子必须嫁给本支派的人，以便以色列人都能守住自己的祖业。 9 以色列人的产业不可从一个支派转到另一个支派，各支派必须守住本支派的产业。”
10 于是，西罗非哈的女儿们遵行了耶和华对摩西的吩咐。 11 玛拉、得撒、曷拉、密迦和挪阿都嫁给了她们叔伯的儿子， 12 即约瑟之子玛拿西支派的人。这样，她们的产业仍留在本支派中。
13 以上是在耶利哥对面、约旦河边的摩押平原，耶和华借摩西颁布给以色列人的命令和律例。

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)
