4.Mose 36 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Lov angående kvinders arveret

1 Familieoverhovederne i Gileads slægt kom nu til Moses og folkets ledere med et problem. De sagde:

2 „Herren har befalet dig at lade Israels folk fordele landet ved lodtrækning, og du har givet os besked på at overdrage vores slægtning Zelofhads jord til hans døtre.

3 Men hvis de nu gifter sig med mænd fra en anden stamme, vil deres jordstykke tilfalde den stamme, og vores område vil i så fald blive formindsket,

4 uden at vi kan gøre os håb om at få den mistede jord tilbage i det førstkommende jubelår.”

5 Derfor bekendtgjorde Moses på Herrens befaling følgende ordning for kvinders arvelod: „Disse mænd fra Manasses stamme har ret.

6 Derfor siger Herren, at Zelofhads døtre kun må gifte sig inden for deres egen stamme.

7 Derved undgår vi, at deres jordstykke kommer på andre stammers hænder, hvilket ville være forkert, for der må ikke overdrages jord fra en stamme til en anden.

8 Enhver arveberettiget kvinde skal derfor gifte sig inden for sin egen stamme, så hendes arvelod forbliver på stammens hænder.”

10 Zelofhads døtre, som hed Mala, Tirtza, Hogla, Milka og Noa, gjorde, som Herren havde befalet Moses. De giftede sig med mænd fra deres egen stamme, Manasses stamme. På den måde forblev deres jord på stammens hænder.

13 Alle disse bud og forskrifter gav Herren til Israels folk gennem Moses, mens de lå i lejr på Moabs sletter ved Jordanfloden over for Jeriko.

Marriage of Female Heirs

1 The heads of the fathers’ houses of the clan of the people of Gilead the son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of the people of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before the chiefs, the heads of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel.

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

3 But if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the people of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry. So it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.

4 And when the jubilee of the people of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry, and their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”

5 And Moses commanded the people of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the people of Joseph is right.

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

7 The inheritance of the people of Israel shall not be transferred from one tribe to another, for every one of the people of Israel shall hold on to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 And every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the people of Israel shall be wife to one of the clan of the tribe of her father, so that every one of the people of Israel may possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9 So no inheritance shall be transferred from one tribe to another, for each of the tribes of the people of Israel shall hold on to its own inheritance.’”

10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses,

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

12 They were married into the clans of the people of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of their father’s clan.

13 These are the commandments and the rules that the Lord commanded through Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
