¹女继承人之结婚条例

¹And the heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, come near, and speak before Moses, and before the princes, heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel,

²“耶和华曾经吩咐我主要凭抽签把地分给以色列人为业；我主也受了耶和华的吩咐，要把我们兄弟西罗非哈的产业分给他的众女儿。

²and say, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord hath been commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

³但是，如果她们嫁给以色列中别的支派的人，她们的产业就必从我们祖宗的产业中被取去，加在他们丈夫支派的产业上；这样，我们抽签所得的产业就失去了。

³`And — they have been to one of the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance hath been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and hath been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the lot of our inheritance it is withdrawn,

⁴到了以色列人的禧年，她们的产业就要加在她们丈夫支派的产业上；这样，她们的产业就要从我们祖宗支派的产业中被拿去了。”

⁴and if it is the jubilee of the sons of Israel, then hath their inheritance been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is theirs, and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers is their inheritance withdrawn.`

⁵摩西照着耶和华的话，吩咐以色列说：“约瑟支派的人说得对。

⁵And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, by the command of Jehovah, saying, `Rightly are the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaking;

⁶论到西罗非哈的众女儿，耶和华吩咐的话是这样：‘她们可以随意嫁自己喜欢的人，但是，只能嫁给同族同支派的人作妻子。

⁶this [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their eyes let them be for wives; only, to a family of the tribe of their fathers let them be for wives;

⁷这样，以色列人的产业，就不会从一个支派转到另一个支派去；因为以色列人要各自守住自己祖宗支派的产业。

⁷and the inheritance of the sons of Israel doth not turn round from tribe unto tribe; for each to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers, do the sons of Israel cleave.

⁸从以色列支派中得了产业的女子，要嫁给自己祖宗支派的人作妻子，好使以色列人可以各自承受自己祖宗的产业。

⁸`And every daughter possessing an inheritance, of the tribes of the sons of Israel, is to one of the family of the tribe of her father for a wife, so that the sons of Israel possess each the inheritance of his fathers,

⁹这样，以色列人的产业，就不会从一个支派转到另一个支派去；因为以色列人的支派要各自守住自己的产业。’”

⁹and the inheritance doth not turn round from [one] tribe to another tribe; for each to his inheritance do they cleave, the tribes of the sons of Israel.`

¹⁰耶和华怎样吩咐摩西，西罗非哈的众女儿就怎样行。

¹⁰As Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the daughters of Zelophehad done,

¹¹西罗非哈的女儿玛拉、得撒、曷拉、密迦、挪阿，都嫁给了自己叔伯的儿子作妻子。

¹¹and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, daughters of Zelophehad, are to the sons of their fathers` brethren for wives;

¹²她们嫁给了约瑟的儿子玛拿西子孙家族的人作妻子；她们的产业仍然留在自己的支派中。

¹²[to men] of the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, they have been for wives, and their inheritance is with the tribe of the family of their father.

¹³这是耶和华在耶利哥对面，约旦河边的摩押平原，借着摩西向以色列人吩咐的命令和典章。

¹³These [are] the commands and the judgments which Jehovah hath commanded, by the hand of Moses, concerning the sons of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho.
