Números 36

Lexham English Bible

1⌞The leaders⌟ of the families of the clans of descendants of Gilead the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, of the clans of the descendants of Joseph came near and spoke ⌞before⌟ Moses and ⌞before⌟ ⌞the leaders⌟ of the families of the ⌞Israelites⌟.

2And they said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land by lot as an inheritance to the ⌞Israelites⌟, and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

3But if they become wives to one of the sons from another tribe of the ⌞Israelites⌟, their inheritance will disappear from the inheritance of our ancestors, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; the lot of our inheritance would disappear.

4When the Jubilee of the ⌞Israelites⌟ ⌞comes⌟, it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; and their inheritance will disappear from the tribe of our father.”

5Then Moses commanded the ⌞Israelites⌟ by the command of Yahweh, saying, “The tribe of the descendants of Joseph is right regarding what they are speaking.

6This is the word that Yahweh commanded the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘⌞Let them marry⌟ ⌞whomever they like⌟; only ⌞they must marry⌟ from within the clan of the tribe of their father.

7Thus an inheritance of the ⌞Israelites⌟ will not go around from tribe to tribe. Rather, the inheritance of each tribe of his father will remain with the ⌞Israelites⌟.

8Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from the tribes of the ⌞Israelites⌟ will ⌞marry⌟ one of the clan of the tribe of her father, so that the ⌞Israelites⌟ will possess the inheritance of his ancestors.

9Therefore an inheritance will not go around from one tribe to another tribe because the tribes of the ⌞Israelites⌟ will each hold to their own inheritance.’ ”

10Just as Yahweh commanded to Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did:

11Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, ⌞married⌟ the sons of their uncles.

12⌞They married⌟ those from the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance ⌞remained⌟ among the tribe of the clan of their ancestors.

13These were the commands and the stipulations that Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses to the ⌞Israelites⌟ on the desert-plateaus of Moab by the Jordan across Jericho.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y LLEGARON los príncipes de los padres de la familia de Galaad, hijo de Machîr, hijo de Manasés, de las familias de los hijos de José; y hablaron delante de Moisés, y de los príncipes, cabezas de padres de los hijos de Israel,

2Y dijeron: Jehová mandó á mi señor que por suerte diese la tierra á los hijos de Israel en posesión: también ha mandado Jehová á mi señor, que dé la posesión de Salphaad nuestro hermano á sus hijas;

3Las cuales, si se casaren con algunos de los hijos de las otras tribus de los hijos de Israel, la herencia de ellas será así desfalcada de la herencia de nuestros padres, y será añadida á la herencia de la tribu á que serán unidas: y será quitada de la suerte de nuestra heredad.

4Y cuando viniere el jubileo de los hijos de Israel, la heredad de ellas será añadida á la heredad de la tribu de sus maridos; y así la heredad de ellas será quitada de la heredad de la tribu de nuestros padres.

5Entonces Moisés mandó á los hijos de Israel por dicho de Jehová, diciendo: La tribu de los hijos de José habla rectamente.

6Esto es lo que ha mandado Jehová acerca de las hijas de Salphaad, diciendo: Cásense como á ellas les pluguiere, empero en la familia de la tribu de su padre se casarán;

7Para que la heredad de los hijos de Israel no sea traspasada de tribu en tribu; porque cada uno de los hijos de Israel se allegará á la heredad de la tribu de sus padres.

8Y cualquiera hija que poseyere heredad de las tribus de los hijos de Israel, con alguno de la familia de la tribu de su padre se casará, para que los hijos de Israel posean cada uno la heredad de sus padres,

9Y no ande la heredad rodando de una tribu á otra: mas cada una de las tribus de los hijos de Israel se llegue á su heredad.

10Como Jehová mandó á Moisés, así hicieron las hijas de Salphaad.

11Y así Maala, y Tirsa, y Hogla, y Milchâ, y Noa, hijas de Salphaad, se casaron con hijos de sus tíos:

12De la familia de los hijos de Manasés, hijo de José, fueron mujeres; y la heredad de ellas quedó en la tribu de la familia de su padre.

13Estos son los mandamientos y los estatutos que mandó Jehová por mano de Moisés á los hijos de Israel en los campos de Moab, junto al Jordán de Jericó.

King James Version

1And 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:

2And 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.

3And 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.

4And 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.

5And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

6This 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.

7So 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.

8And 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.

9Neither 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.

10Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

11For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons:

12And 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.

13These 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.

World English Bible

1The 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.

2They 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.

3If 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.

4When 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.”

5Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the LORD’s word, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph speak what is right.

6This 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.

7So 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.

8Every 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.

9So shall no inheritance move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each keep his own inheritance.’”

10The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses:

11for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.

12They 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.

13These 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.
