Numbers 36
King James Version
36 And the chief fathers of the families 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 chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2 And they said, The Lord commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
6 This is the thing which the Lord doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 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 enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
10 Even as the Lord 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 fathers brothers' sons:
12 And 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 judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near 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. 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)

La loi sur le patrimoine foncier des familles
36 Les chefs des groupes familiaux des descendants de Galaad, fils de Makir, et petit-fils de Manassé, de la lignée des descendants de Joseph, se présentèrent devant Moïse et devant les chefs des groupes familiaux des Israélites, 2 pour leur dire : L’Eternel a ordonné à mon seigneur d’attribuer la possession du pays aux Israélites en le partageant par tirage au sort. De plus, mon seigneur a reçu de l’Eternel l’ordre de donner le patrimoine foncier de Tselophhad, notre parent, à ses filles[a]. 3 Or, si elles épousent l’un des membres d’une autre tribu d’Israël, leur patrimoine sera retranché de l’héritage de nos ancêtres pour être ajouté à celui de la tribu à laquelle elles appartiendront par leur mariage, de sorte que notre part de patrimoine foncier sera diminuée d’autant. 4 Quand viendra l’année du jubilé[b] pour les Israélites, la part de ces femmes s’ajoutera à celle de la tribu dans laquelle elles seront entrées et, par conséquent, le patrimoine de notre tribu en sera diminué d’autant.
5 Moïse ordonna aux Israélites de la part de l’Eternel : Les gens de la tribu des descendants de Joseph ont raison. 6 Voici ce que l’Eternel ordonne au sujet des filles de Tselophhad : Elles peuvent épouser qui elles voudront, à condition que ce soit un membre d’une famille de la tribu de leurs ancêtres. 7 Ainsi, le patrimoine foncier des Israélites ne passera pas d’une tribu à l’autre et chaque Israélite restera attaché au patrimoine foncier de la tribu de ses ancêtres. 8 Si dans l’une des tribus des Israélites, une fille hérite d’un patrimoine foncier, elle devra épouser un homme d’une famille de la tribu de son père, afin que chaque Israélite conserve intact le patrimoine foncier de ses ancêtres. 9 Aucun patrimoine ne pourra être transféré d’une tribu à une autre, chaque tribu des Israélites restera attachée à son patrimoine foncier.
10 Les filles de Tselophhad firent ce que l’Eternel avait ordonné à Moïse : 11 Mahla, Tirtsa, Hogla, Milka et Noa épousèrent des fils de leurs oncles paternels, 12 donc des hommes appartenant aux familles issues de Manassé, fils de Joseph, de sorte que leur patrimoine foncier resta dans la tribu à laquelle appartenait leur famille paternelle.
13 Tels sont les commandements et les lois que l’Eternel donna aux Israélites par l’intermédiaire de Moïse dans les steppes de Moab, sur la rive du Jourdain, à la hauteur de Jéricho.
