Ley del casamiento de las herederas
36 Los príncipes de las familias patriarcales de Galaad hijo de Maquir, hijo de Manasés, es decir, de las familias de los hijos de José, fueron y hablaron delante de Moisés y de los príncipes de las familias patriarcales de los hijos de Israel. 2 Dijeron:
«El Señor dio instrucciones a nuestro señor Moisés, de dar a los hijos de Israel posesión de la tierra mediante sorteo. También, el Señor ha dado instrucciones a nuestro señor Moisés, de entregar la propiedad de nuestro hermano Selofejad a sus hijas.(A) 3 Pero si ellas se casan con hombres de las otras tribus israelitas, su propiedad familiar saldrá de la parte que nos corresponde y será añadida a la propiedad familiar de la tribu a la que ellas se unan. Así, se nos quitará la herencia de nuestros padres 4 y, cuando llegue el jubileo de los hijos de Israel, la propiedad familiar de ellas será añadida a la propiedad familiar de la tribu de sus maridos. Entonces lo que ahora es de ellas dejará de ser parte de la herencia de la tribu de nuestros padres.»
5 Entonces Moisés habló con los hijos de Israel, y por mandato del Señor les dijo:
«Los de la tribu de José tienen razón. 6 Acerca de las hijas de Selofejad, esto es lo que el Señor ha ordenado: Pueden casarse como a ellas les parezca mejor, siempre y cuando se casen con alguien de la tribu de su padre, 7 para que la propiedad familiar de los hijos de Israel no pase de una tribu a otra, pues todo israelita estará vinculado a la propiedad familiar de la tribu de sus padres. 8 Toda mujer que tenga propiedad familiar entre las tribus de los hijos de Israel, deberá casarse con alguien que pertenezca a la tribu de su padre, para que los hijos de Israel tengan cada uno la propiedad familiar de sus padres, 9 y no ande su propiedad rodando de una tribu a otra, sino que cada una de las tribus de los hijos de Israel estará vinculada a su propiedad familiar.»
10 Las hijas de Selofejad acataron lo que el Señor le ordenó a Moisés, 11 y Malá, Tirsa, Joglá, Milca y Nogá, hijas de Selofejad, se casaron con hijos de sus tíos paternos. 12 Se casaron dentro de la familia de los hijos de Manasés hijo de José, y su propiedad familiar se quedó dentro de la tribu de la familia de su padre.
13 Éstos son los mandamientos y los estatutos que el Señor dio a los hijos de Israel por medio de Moisés. Se los dio en los campos de Moab, junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó.

Inheritance of Zelophehad’s Daughters(A)
36 The family heads of the clan of Gilead(B) son of Makir,(C) the son of Manasseh, who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph,(D) came and spoke before Moses and the leaders,(E) the heads of the Israelite families. 2 They said, “When the Lord commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot,(F) he ordered you to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad(G) to his daughters. 3 Now suppose they marry men from other Israelite tribes; then their inheritance will be taken from our ancestral inheritance and added to that of the tribe they marry into. And so part of the inheritance allotted to us will be taken away. 4 When the Year of Jubilee(H) for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry, and their property will be taken from the tribal inheritance of our ancestors.”
5 Then at the Lord’s command Moses gave this order to the Israelites: “What the tribe of the descendants of Joseph is saying is right. 6 This is what the Lord commands for Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within their father’s tribal clan. 7 No inheritance(I) in Israel is to pass from one tribe to another, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal inheritance of their ancestors. 8 Every daughter who inherits land in any Israelite tribe must marry someone in her father’s tribal clan,(J) so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of their ancestors. 9 No inheritance may pass from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe is to keep the land it inherits.”
10 So Zelophehad’s daughters did as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah and Noah(K)—married their cousins on their father’s side. 12 They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in their father’s tribe and clan.(L)
13 These are the commands and regulations the Lord gave through Moses(M) to the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.(N)

Marriage of Female Heirs
36 Now the chief fathers of the families of the (A)children of Gilead the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and (B)spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the chief fathers of the children of Israel. 2 And they said: (C)“The Lord commanded my lord Moses to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel, and (D)my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters. 3 Now if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be (E)taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry; so it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 4 And when (F)the Jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry; so their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
5 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying: (G)“What the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks is right. 6 This is what the Lord commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them [a]marry whom they think best, (H)but they may marry only within the family of their father’s tribe.’ 7 So the inheritance of the children of Israel shall not change hands from tribe to tribe, for every one of the children of Israel shall (I)keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And (J)every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be the wife of one of the family of her father’s tribe, so that the children of Israel each may possess the inheritance of his fathers. 9 Thus no inheritance shall change hands from one tribe to another, but every tribe of the children of Israel shall keep its own inheritance.”
10 Just as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad; 11 (K)for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to the sons of their father’s brothers. 12 They were married into the families of the children of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of their father’s family.
13 These are the commandments and the judgments which the Lord commanded the children of Israel by the hand of Moses (L)in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.
