1 O s chefes de família do clã de Gileade, filho de Maquir, neto de Manassés, que pertenciam aos clãs dos descendentes de José, foram falar com Moisés e com os líderes, os chefes das famílias israelitas.

The heads of the fathers’ houses of the families of the sons of Gilead son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the fathers’ houses of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and the leaders, the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Israelites.

2 E disseram: “Quando o Senhor ordenou ao meu senhor que, por sorteio, desse a terra como herança aos israelitas, ordenou que vocês dessem a herança de nosso irmão Zelofeade às suas filhas.

They said, The Lord commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the Israelites; and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

3 A gora, suponham que elas se casem com homens de outras tribos israelitas; nesse caso a herança delas será tirada da herança dos nossos antepassados e acrescentada à herança da tribo com a qual se unirem pelo casamento.

But if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the Israelites, then their inheritance will be taken from that of our fathers and added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they are received and belong; so it will be taken out of the lot of our inheritance.

4 Q uando chegar o ano do Jubileu para os israelitas, a herança delas será acrescentada à da tribo com a qual se unirem pelo casamento, e a propriedade delas será tirada da herança da tribo de nossos antepassados”.

And when the Jubilee of the Israelites comes, then their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe to which they are received and belong; so will their inheritance be taken away from that of the tribe of our fathers.

5 E ntão, instruído pelo Senhor, Moisés deu esta ordem aos israelitas: “A tribo dos descendentes de José tem razão.

And Moses commanded the Israelites according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph is right.

6 É isto que o Senhor ordena quanto às filhas de Zelofeade: Elas poderão casar-se com quem lhes agradar, contanto que se casem dentro do clã da tribo de seu pai.

This is what the Lord commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whom they think best; only they shall marry within the family of the tribe of their father.

7 N enhuma herança em Israel poderá passar de uma tribo para outra, pois todos os israelitas manterão as terras das tribos que herdaram de seus antepassados.

So shall no inheritance of the Israelites be transferred from tribe to tribe, for every one of the Israelites shall cling to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 T oda filha que herdar terras em qualquer tribo israelita se casará com alguém do clã da tribo de seu pai, para que cada israelita possua a herança dos seus antepassados.

And every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the Israelites shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the Israelites may each one possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9 N enhuma herança poderá passar de uma tribo para outra, pois cada tribo israelita deverá manter as terras que herdou”.

So shall no inheritance be transferred from one tribe to another, but each of the tribes of the Israelites shall cling to its own inheritance.

10 A s filhas de Zelofeade fizeram conforme o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés.

The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses.

11 A s filhas de Zelofeade, Maalá, Tirza, Hogla, Milca e Noa, casaram-se com seus primos paternos,

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

12 d entro dos clãs dos descendentes de Manassés, filho de José, e a herança delas permaneceu no clã e na tribo de seu pai.

They married into the families of the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

13 S ão esses os mandamentos e as ordenanças que o Senhor deu aos israelitas por intermédio de Moisés nas campinas de Moabe, junto ao Jordão, frente a Jericó.

These are the commandments and ordinances which the Lord commanded the Israelites through Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
