1 And the chief fathers of families of the sons 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 chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2 and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
3 Now 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 added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall come, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong; and their inheritance shall 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 Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
6 This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry whom they please; only they shall marry one of the tribe of their father,
7 that no inheritance of the children of Israel pass from tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israel shall keep to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance among the tribes of the children of Israel, shall be married to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every one the inheritance of his fathers,
9 and the inheritance shall not pass from one tribe to another tribe; for each of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep to his inheritance.
10 Even as Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad;
11 and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their uncles' sons.
12 To those that were of the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph were they married; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded through Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan of Jericho.
1 Então se chegaram os que eram cabeças das casas paternas da família dos filhos de Gileade, filho de Maquir, filho de Manassés, das famílias dos filhos de José, e falaram perante Moisés e perante os príncipes, cabeças das casas paternas dos filhos de Israel;
2 e disseram: Jeová ordenou a meu senhor que por sorte repartisse a terra em herança aos filhos de Israel; e meu senhor recebeu ordem de Jeová de dar a herança de Zelofeade, nosso irmão, a suas filhas.
3 Se elas se casarem com alguns dos filhos das outras tribos dos filhos de Israel, a sua herança será retirada da herança de nossos pais, e acrescentada à herança da tribo a que vierem a pertencer; assim será tirada da sorte da nossa herança.
4 Quando chegar o jubileu dos filhos de Israel, a herança delas será acrescentada à herança da tribo a que pertencerem; assim a sua herança será retirada da herança da tribo de nossos pais.
5 Então Moisés ordenou aos filhos de Israel segundo a palavra de Jeová, dizendo: A tribo dos filhos de José fala o que é justo.
6 Isto é o que Jeová ordena no tocante às filhas de Zelofeade, dizendo: Casem com quem quiserem; contanto que se casem na família da tribo de seu pai.
7 Assim a herança dos filhos de Israel não passará de tribo em tribo, porque os filhos de Israel se apegarão cada um à herança da tribo de seus pais.
8 Todas as filhas, que possuírem herança em qualquer tribo dos filhos de Israel, tomarão maridos da família da tribo de seu pai, para que os filhos de Israel possuam cada um a herança de seus pais.
9 Assim nenhuma herança passará de uma tribo a outra, porque as tribos dos filhos de Israel se apegarão cada uma à sua herança.
10 Como Jeová ordenou a Moisés, assim fizeram as filhas de Zelofeade;
11 pois Maalá, Tirza, Hogla, Milca e Noa, filhas de Zelofeade, se casaram com os filhos dos seus tios paternos.
12 Casaram-se nas famílias dos filhos de Manassés, filho de José, e a sua herança permaneceu na tribo da família de seu pai.
13 Estes são os mandamentos e os juízos, que Jeová, por intermédio de Moisés, ordenou aos filhos de Israel, nas planícies de Moabe junto ao Jordão na altura de Jericó.
