Çölde Sayım 36

¹Yusuf oğlu Manasse oğlu Makir oğlu Galaad oğullarının oymağının önderleri yaklaşıp Musa'nın, kâhin Eleazar'ın ve İsrail oğullarının ata evlerinin önderlerinin huzurunda konuştular.

²Ve dediler ki: "Rab, miras toprağını kura ile İsrail oğullarına vermeyi efendimize emretti; ayrıca Rab, kardeşimiz Salpaad'ın mirasını kızlarına vermeyi efendimize buyurdu.

³Ancak onlar İsrail oğullarının diğer oymaklarından birinin erkekleriyle evlenirlerse, onların miras payı babalarımızın mülkiyetinden eksilecek ve eşi olacakları erkeklerin ait olduğu oymağın mirasına eklenecektir; böylece bizim miras payımızdan eksilmiş olacaktır.

⁴İsrail oğullarının jübile yılı geldiğinde bile, onların mirası evlendikleri erkeklerin ait olduğu oymağın mirasına eklenmiş kalacak ve onların mirası ata soyumuzun oymağının mirasından eksilecektir."

⁵Bunun üzerine Musa, Rab'bin buyruğu uyarınca İsrail oğullarına emrederek şöyle dedi: "Yusuf oğulları oymağının söyledikleri doğrudur.

⁶Rab'bin Salpaad'ın kızları için buyurduğu söz şudur: 'Gözlerine hoş görünen kimselerle evlenebilirler; ancak sadece babalarının boyundan olanlarla evlenmelidirler.

⁷Böylece İsrail oğullarının mirası oymaktan oymağa geçmeyecektir; çünkü İsrail oğullarından her biri kendi ata soyunun oymağının mirasına sıkı sıkıya bağlı kalmalıdır.

⁸İsrail oğullarının oymaklarında miras hakkı kazanan her kız, babasının boyundan biriyle evlenmelidir; öyle ki, İsrail oğullarından her biri kendi atasından kalan mirasa sahip olabilsin.

⁹Miras payı bir oymaktan başka bir oymağa geçmemeli, aksine İsrail oğullarından her biri kendi mirasına sıkıca bağlı kalmalıdır.'"

¹⁰Rab'bin Musa'ya emrettiği gibi, Salpaad'ın kızları da kendileri için öyle yaptılar.

¹¹Salpaad'ın kızları Tersa, Egla, Melha, Nua ve Malaa, kendi kuzenleriyle evlendiler.

¹²Yusuf oğlu Manasse'nin boylarından erkeklerle evlendiler; böylece mirasları babalarının boyunun bağlı olduğu oymakta kaldı.

¹³Rab'bin Musa aracılığıyla Moab'ın batısında, Şeria Irmağı'nın kenarında, Eriha'nın karşısında emrettiği buyruklar, yasalar ve yargılar bunlardır.

¹ΚΑΙ προσῆλθον οἱ ἄρχοντες φυλῆς υἱῶν Γαλαὰδ υἱοῦ Μαχὶρ υἱοῦ Μανασσῆ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς υἱῶν ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἔναντι Μωυσῆ καὶ ἔναντι ᾿Ελεάζαρ τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ ἔναντι τῶν ἀρχόντων οἴκων πατριῶν τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ

²καὶ εἶπαν· τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ἀποδοῦναι τὴν γῆν τῆς κληρονομίας ἐν κλήρῳ τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ τῷ κυρίῳ συνέταξε Κύριος δοῦναι τὴν κληρονομίαν Σαλπαὰδ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ἡμῶν ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτοῦ.

³καὶ ἔσονται ἑνὶ τῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ γυναῖκες, καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσεται ὁ κλῆρος αὐτῶν ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ προστεθήσεται εἰς κληρονομίαν τῆς φυλῆς, οἷς ἂν γένωνται γυναῖκες, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ κλήρου τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν ἀφαιρεθήσεται.

⁴ἐὰν δὲ γένηται ἡ ἄφεσις τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ προστεθήσεται ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν τῆς φυλῆς, οἷς ἂν γένωνται γυναῖκες, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς κληρονομίας φυλῆς πατριᾶς ἡμῶν ἀφαιρεθήσεται ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν.

⁵καὶ ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ διὰ προστάγματος Κυρίου λέγων· οὕτως φυλὴ υἱῶν ᾿Ιωσὴφ λέγουσι·

⁶τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ συνέταξε Κύριος τοῖς θυγατράσι Σαλπαάδ, λέγων· οὗ ἀρέσκῃ ἐναντίον αὐτῶν, ἔστωσαν γυναῖκες, πλὴν ἐκ τοῦ δήμου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ἔστωσαν γυναῖκες,

⁷καὶ οὐχὶ περιστραφήσεται κληρονομία τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ φυλῆς ἐπὶ φυλήν, ὅτι ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ κληρονομίᾳ τῆς φυλῆς τῆς πατριᾶς αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσονται οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ.

⁸καὶ πᾶσα θυγάτηρ ἀγχιστεύουσα κληρονομίαν ἐκ τῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἑνὶ τῶν ἐκ τοῦ δήμου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἔσονται γυναῖκες, ἵνα ἀγχιστεύσωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἕκαστος τὴν κληρονομίαν τὴν πατρικὴν αὐτοῦ·

⁹καὶ οὐ περιστραφήσεται ὁ κλῆρος ἐκ φυλῆς ἐπὶ φυλὴν ἑτέραν, ἀλλ’ ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ κληρονομίᾳ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσονται οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ.

¹⁰ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος Μωυσῇ, οὕτως ἐποίησαν θυγατράσι Σαλπαάδ,

¹¹καὶ ἐγένοντο Θερσὰ καὶ ᾿Εγλὰ καὶ Μελχὰ καὶ Νούα καὶ Μαλαὰ θυγατέρες Σαλπαὰδ τοῖς ἀνεψιοῖς αὐτῶν·

¹²ἐκ τοῦ δήμου τοῦ Μανασσῆ υἱῶν ᾿Ιωσὴφ ἐγενήθησαν γυναῖκες, καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν φυλὴν δήμου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.

¹³Αὗται αἱ ἐντολαὶ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα, ἃ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ ἐπὶ δυσμῶν Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου κατὰ ῾Ιεριχώ.

¹And the heads of the tribe of the sons of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasse, of the tribe of the sons of Joseph, drew near, and spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the heads of the houses of the families of the children of Israel:

²and they said, The Lord commanded our lord to render the land of inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and the Lord appointed our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our brother to his daughters.

³And they will become wives in one of the tribes of the children of Israel; so their inheritance shall be taken away from the possession of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women shall marry, and shall be taken away from the portion of our inheritance.

⁴And if there shall be a release of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women marry, and their inheritance, shall be taken away from the inheritance of our family’s tribe.

⁵And Moses charged the children of Israel by the commandment of the Lord, saying, Thus says the tribe of the children of Joseph.

⁶This [is] the thing which the Lord has appointed the daughters of Salpaad, saying, Let them marry where they please, only let them marry [men] of their father’s tribe.

⁷So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel go about from tribe to tribe, for the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in the inheritance of his family’s tribe.

⁸And whatever daughter is heiress to a property of the tribes of the children Israel, [such] women shall be married each to one of her father’s tribe, that the sons of Israel may each inherit the property of his father’s tribe.

⁹And the inheritance shall not go about from one tribe to another, but the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in his own inheritance.

¹⁰As the Lord commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad.

¹¹So Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of Salpaad, married their cousins;

¹²they were married [to men] of the tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph; and their inheritance was attached to the tribe of their father’s family.

¹³These [are] the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, at the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.
