1 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 father’s 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.
1 Un dzimtu vecākie no Gileāda bērnu cilts, no Manases dēla Mahīra pēcnācējiem un Jāzepa dēlu ciltīm piegāja klāt Mozum un vadoņiem, Israēla bērnu tēvu namu galvenajiem, 2 un sacīja: "Tas Kungs ir pavēlējis manam kungam ar meslu palīdzību nodot zemi par īpašumu Israēla bērniem, un manam kungam ir arī no Tā Kunga pavēlēts mūsu brāļa Celofehada īpašumu nodot viņa meitām. 3 Kad nu tās tagad kļūtu sievas kādam no Israēla cilts dēliem, tad viņu mantojuma daļa tiktu atrauta no mūsu cilts tēvu īpašuma un tiktu pievienota tam cilts tēvu īpašumam, pie kuras tās pievienojušās, bet mums mūsu īpašuma gabals tiktu atrauts. 4 Un, ja nu Israēla bērniem nāk gaviļu gads, tad šī īpašuma daļa tiktu pievienota tās cilts īpašumiem, kurai tās ir pievienojušās, un tā no mūsu tēvu īpašuma viņām piederīgā daļa tiktu nogriezta." 5 Tad Mozus pavēlēja Israēla bērniem, kā Tas Kungs viņam bija licis, sacīdams: "Ir taisnība, ko Jāzepa cilts pēcnācēji saka. 6 Lūk, vārds, ko Tas Kungs dod kā pavēli par Celofehada meitām, teikdams: lai tās kļūst par sievām tam, kas viņu acīm labi patīk, bet lai tās kļūst par sievām tikai kādam no sava tēva cilts, 7 ka Israēla bērnu īpašums nepāriet no vienas cilts otrai ciltij, jo ikvienam Israēla bērnam būs cieši turēties pie savu tēvu cilts īpašuma. 8 Un ikviena meita no Israēla bērnu cilšu vidus, kura manto kādu īpašumu, lai kļūst sieva vīram vienīgi no savas tēva cilts tādēļ, ka ikviens israēlietis patur sava tēva īpašumu, 9 un tā lai neviens īpašums nepāriet no vienas cilts otrai ciltij; ikviena no Israēla bērnu ciltīm lai cieši turas pie sava cilts īpašuma." 10 Kā Tas Kungs Mozum bija pavēlējis, tā arī Celofehada meitas darīja; 11 jo Mahlija, Tirca, Hogla, Milka un Noga, Celofehada meitas, kļuva sievas sava tēva brāļa dēliem; 12 tās izgāja pie vīriem no Jāzepa dēla Manases cilts; tā viņu mantojums palika viņu tēvu cilts īpašumā. 13 Šīs ir tās pavēles un tiesas, ko Tas Kungs pavēlēja caur Mozu Israēla bērniem Moāba klajumā pie Jordānas pretim Jērikai.
