اَلْعَدَد 36

١ 1 وَتَقَدَّمَ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ بَنِي جِلْعَادَ بْنِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي يُوسُفَ، وَتَكَلَّمُوا قُدَّامَ مُوسَى وَقُدَّامَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Then the leaders of the ancestors' families of the clan of Gilead son of Machir (who was Manasseh's son), who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and before the leaders who were the heads of the ancestor's families of the people of Israel.

٢ 2 وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَيِّدِي أَنْ يُعْطِيَ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِقِسْمَةٍ بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ أُمِرَ سَيِّدِي مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ نَصِيبَ صَلُفْحَادَ أَخِينَا لِبَنَاتِهِ.

They said, “Yahweh commanded you, our master, to give a share of land by lot to the people of Israel. You were commanded by Yahweh to give the share of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

٣ 3 فَإِنْ صِرْنَ نِسَاءً لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يُؤْخَذُ نَصِيبُهُنَّ مِنْ نَصِيبِ آبَائِنَا وَيُضَافُ إِلَى نَصِيبِ ٱلسِّبْطِ ٱلَّذِي صِرْنَ لَهُ. فَمِنْ قُرْعَةِ نَصِيبِنَا يُؤْخَذُ.

But if his daughters marry men in another tribe of the people of Israel, then their share of land will be removed from our ancestor's share. It will be added to the share of the tribes that they join. In that case, it will be removed from the assigned share of our inheritance.

٤ 4 وَمَتَى كَانَ ٱلْيُوبِيلُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُضَافُ نَصِيبُهُنَّ إِلَى نَصِيبِ ٱلسِّبْطِ ٱلَّذِي صِرْنَ لَهُ، وَمِنْ نَصِيبِ سِبْطِ آبَائِنَا يُؤْخَذُ نَصِيبُهُنَّ».

In that case, when the year of Jubilee of the people of Israel comes, then their share will be joined to the share of the tribe that they have joined. In this way, their share will be taken away from the share of our ancestors' tribe.”

٥ 5 فَأَمَرَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «بِحَقٍّ تَكَلَّمَ سِبْطُ بَنِي يُوسُفَ.

So Moses gave a command to the people of Israel, at Yahweh's word. He said, “What the tribe of Joseph's descendants says is right.

٦ 6 هَذَا مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ بَنَاتِ صَلُفْحَادَ قَائِلًا: مَنْ حَسُنَ فِي أَعْيُنِهِنَّ يَكُنَّ لَهُ نِسَاءً، وَلَكِنْ لِعَشِيرَةِ سِبْطِ آبَائِهِنَّ يَكُنَّ نِسَاءً.

This is what Yahweh commands concerning Zelophehad's daughters. He says, 'Let them be married to whom they think best, but they must marry only within the family of their father's tribe.'

٧ 7 فَلَا يَتَحَوَّلُ نَصِيبٌ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ سِبْطٍ إِلَى سِبْطٍ، بَلْ يُلَازِمُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَصِيبَ سِبْطِ آبَائِهِ.

No share of the people of Israel must change from one tribe to another. Each one of the people of Israel must continue with the share of his ancestor's tribe.

٨ 8 وَكُلُّ بِنْتٍ وَرَثَتْ نَصِيبًا مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَكُونُ ٱمْرَأَةً لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ سِبْطِ أَبِيهَا، لِكَيْ يَرِثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَصِيبَ آبَائِهِ،

Every woman of the people of Israel who owns a share in her tribe must marry someone from the clans belonging to her father's tribe. This is so that everyone of the people of Israel may own an inheritance from his ancestors.

٩ 9 فَلَا يَتَحَوَّلْ نَصِيبٌ مِنْ سِبْطٍ إِلَى سِبْطٍ آخَرَ، بَلْ يُلَازِمُ أَسْبَاطُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَصِيبَهُ».

No share may change hands from one tribe to another. Everyone of the tribes of the people of Israel must keep his own inheritance.”

١٠ 10 كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَتْ بَنَاتُ صَلُفْحَادَ.

So Zelophehad's daughters did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

١١ 11 فَصَارَتْ مَحْلَةُ وَتِرْصَةُ وَحَجْلَةُ وَمِلْكَةُ وَنُوعَةُ بَنَاتُ صَلُفْحَادَ نِسَاءً لِبَنِي أَعْمَامِهِنَّ.

Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married descendants of Manasseh.

١٢ 12 صِرْنَ نِسَاءً مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ، فَبَقِيَ نَصِيبُهُنَّ فِي سِبْطِ عَشِيرَةِ أَبِيهِنَّ.

They married into the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph. In this way, their inheritances remained in the tribe to which their father's clan belonged.

١٣ 13 هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْوَصَايَا وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى، فِي عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ عَلَى أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا.

These are the commands and the decrees that Yahweh gave by Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
