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)

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.

Erbtöchter sollen nicht außerhalb ihres Stammes heiraten
36 Und die Familienhäupter des Geschlechts der Kinder Gileads, des Sohnes Machirs, der ein Sohn Manasses war, vom Geschlecht der Kinder Josephs, traten herzu und redeten vor Mose und vor den Fürsten, den Familienhäuptern der Kinder Israels,
2 und sie sprachen: Der Herr hat meinem Herrn geboten, dass ihr den Kindern Israels das Land zum Erbteil durch das Los zuteilen sollt. Und mein Herr hat von dem Herrn ein Gebot empfangen, dass man das Erbteil Zelophchads, unseres Bruders, seinen Töchtern geben soll.
3 Wenn sie nun einen von den Söhnen der Stämme der Kinder Israels heiraten, dann wird ihr Erbteil von dem Erbteil unserer Väter abgezogen, und was sie haben, wird dem Erbteil des Stammes hinzugefügt, dem sie angehören werden; so wird es vom Los unseres Erbteils abgezogen.
4 Auch wenn das Halljahr[a] der Kinder Israels kommt, dann wird ihr Erbteil dem Erbteil des Stammes beigefügt, dem sie angehören werden; so wird dann von dem Erbteil des Stammes unserer Väter ihr Erbteil abgezogen!
5 Und Mose gebot den Kindern Israels nach dem Befehl des Herrn und sprach: Der Stamm der Kinder Josephs redet recht.
6 Das ist das Wort, das der Herr den Töchtern Zelophchads gebietet und spricht: Sie können denjenigen heiraten, der in ihren Augen gut ist; jedoch sollen sie nur unter dem Geschlecht ihres väterlichen Stammes heiraten,
7 damit nicht ein Erbteil der Kinder Israels von Stamm zu Stamm übergeht; sondern jeder unter den Kindern Israels soll an dem Erbe des Stammes seiner Väter festhalten.
8 Und jede Tochter, die unter den Stämmen der Kinder Israels ein Erbteil besitzt, soll sich mit einem Mann aus dem Geschlecht des Stammes ihres Vaters verheiraten, damit jeder unter den Kindern Israels das Erbteil seiner Väter besitzt,
9 und damit nicht ein Erbteil von einem Stamm zu einem anderen Stamm übergeht, sondern jeder unter den Stämmen der Kinder Israels an seinem Erbteil festhält.
10 So, wie der Herr es Mose geboten hatte, so handelten die Töchter Zelophchads.
11 Und Machla, Tirza, Hogla, Milka und Noa, die Töchter Zelophchads, verheirateten sich mit ihren Vettern.
12 Sie verheirateten sich unter den Geschlechtern der Kinder Manasses, des Sohnes Josephs; und ihr Erbteil blieb bei dem Stamm des Geschlechts ihres Vaters.
13 Das sind die Gebote und Rechtsbestimmungen, die der Herr durch Mose den Kindern Israels geboten hat in den Ebenen Moabs am Jordan, gegenüber von Jericho.
