Numeri 36
BasisBijbel
Het huwelijk van dochters die de grond van hun vader erven als hun vader geen zonen had
36 De leiders van de familie van Gilead, die een zoon was van Machir, die een zoon was van Manasse, uit de stam van Jozef, kwamen naar Mozes en de leiders van de Israëlieten. 2 Ze zeiden: "De Heer heeft bevolen om het land onder de Israëlieten te verloten. En Hij heeft gezegd dat het stuk grond van onze stamgenoot Zelafead aan zijn dochters moet worden gegeven. 3 Maar als ze trouwen met mannen van een andere stam, gaat het stuk grond dat zij bezitten, af van het gebied van onze stam. Het komt bij de grond van de man met wie ze trouwen. Maar het zou afgaan van het gebied dat wij als stam hebben gekregen toen het land werd verloot. 4 In het Jubeljaar[a] komt hun stuk grond voorgoed bij het gebied van de stam van hun man, en gaat af van het gebied van ónze stam."
5 Mozes vertelde de Israëlieten het antwoord van de Heer hierover: "De stam van Jozef heeft gelijk. 6 Dit zegt de Heer over de dochters van Zelafead: Ze mogen trouwen met wie ze willen, als het maar is met een man uit de stam van hun vader. 7 Want grond van de ene stam mag niet naar een andere stam gaan. De Israëlieten moeten altijd het stuk grond houden dat bij hun stam hoort. 8 Iedere dochter die een eigen stuk grond heeft geërfd, moet trouwen met iemand uit de familie van haar vader. 9 Want de grond mag niet van de ene stam naar een andere stam gaan. Maar de stammen van Israël moeten allemaal hun eigen gebied houden."
10 De dochters van Zelafead deden wat de Heer tegen Mozes gezegd had. 11 Mala, Tirza, Hogla, Milka en Noa trouwden met de zonen van hun ooms, de broers van hun vader. 12 Dus met mannen uit de stam van Manasse, de zoon van Jozef. Zo bleef hun stuk grond bij de stam van de familie van hun vader.
13 Dit zijn de wetten en bevelen die de Heer door Mozes aan de Israëlieten gegeven heeft in de vlakte van Moab langs de Jordaan tegenover Jericho.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Inheritance of Zelophehad’s Daughters
36 The family leaders from the clan of the descendants of Gilead—the son of Machir, son of Manasseh—who were from the clans of the sons of Joseph, approached and addressed Moses and the leaders who were over the Israelite families. 2 They said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the Israelites. My lord was further commanded by Yahweh to give our brother Zelophehad’s inheritance to his daughters.(A) 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(B) 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 An inheritance belonging to the Israelites must not transfer from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of his ancestral tribe. 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.
Numbers 36
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
36 The heads of the fathers’ houses of the families of the sons of Gilead son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the fathers’ houses of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and the leaders, the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Israelites.
2 They said, The Lord commanded [you] my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the Israelites; and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
3 But if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the Israelites, then their inheritance will be taken from that of our fathers and added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they are received and belong; so it will be taken out of the lot of our inheritance.
4 And when the Jubilee of the Israelites comes, then their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe to which they are received and belong; so will their inheritance be taken away from that of the tribe of our fathers.
5 And Moses commanded the Israelites according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph is right.
6 This is what the Lord commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whom they think best; only they shall marry within the family of the tribe of their father.
7 So shall no inheritance of the Israelites be transferred from tribe to tribe, for every one of the Israelites shall cling to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 And every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the Israelites shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the Israelites may each one possess the inheritance of his fathers.
9 So shall no inheritance be transferred from one tribe to another, but each of the tribes of the Israelites shall cling to its own inheritance.
10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses.
11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to sons of their father’s brothers.
12 They married into the families of the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 These are the commandments and ordinances which the Lord commanded the Israelites through Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [River] at Jericho.
