Numbers 36
1 The heads of the fathers’ households of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel.
Overhovederne for Fædrenehusene i Gileaditernes Slægt Gilead var en Søn af Manasses Søn Makir af Josefs Sønners Slægter traadte frem og talte for Moses og Øversterne, Overhovederne for Israeliternes Fædrenehuse,
2 They said, “The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel. My lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
og sagde: »HERREN har paalagt min Herre at udskifte Landet mellem Israeliterne ved Lodkastning, og min Herre har i HERRENS Navn paabudt at give vor Frænde Zelofhads Arvelod til hans Døtre.
3 If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
Men hvis de nu indgaar Ægteskab med Mænd, der hører til en anden af Israels Stammer, saa unddrages deres Arvelod jo vore Fædres Arvelod, og saaledes øges den Stammes Arvelod, som de kommer til at tilhøre, medens den Arvelod, der er tilfaldet os ved Lodkastning, formindskes;
4 When the jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong. So their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
og naar Israeliterne faar Jubelaar, lægges deres Arvelod til den Stammes Arvelod, som de kommer til at tilhøre, og saaledes unddrages deres Arvelod vor fædrene Stammes Arvelod.«
5 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the LORD’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what is right.
Da udstedte Moses efter HERRENS Ord følgende Bud til Israeliterne: »Josefs Sønners Stamme har talt ret!
6 This is the thing which the LORD commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them be married to whom they think best, only they shall marry into the family of the tribe of their father.
Saaledes er HERRENS Bud angaaende Zelofhads Døtre: De maa indgaa Ægteskab med hvem de ønsker, men det maa kun være Mænd af deres Faders Stammes Slægt, de indgaar Ægteskab med.
7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Thi ingen Arvelod, der tilhører Israel, maa gaa over fra en Stamme til en anden, men Israeliterne skal holde fast hver ved sin fædrene Stammes Arvelod.
8 Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may each possess the inheritance of his fathers.
Enhver Datter, som faar en Arvelod i en af Israeliternes Stammer, skal indgaa Ægteskab med en Mand af sin fædrene Stammes Slægt, for at Israeliterne kan beholde hver sine Fædres Arvelod som Ejendom;
9 So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’”
og ingen Arvelod maa gaa over fra den ene Stamme til den anden, men Israeliternes Stammer skal holde fast hver ved sin Arvelod!«
10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses:
Zelofhads Døtre gjorde da, som HERREN paalagde Moses,
11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.
idet Mala, Tirza, Hogla, Milka og Noa, Zelofhads Døtre, indgik Ægteskab med deres Farbrødres Sønner;
12 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. Their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
de indgik Ægteskab med Mænd, som hørte til Josefs Søn Manasses Sønners Slægter, saa at deres Arvelod vedblev at tilhøre deres fædrene Slægts Stamme.
13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which the LORD commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
Det er de Bud og Lovbud, HERREN gav Israeliterne ved Moses paa Moabs Sletter ved Jordan over for Jeriko.
