गिनती 36

1 फिर यूसुफियों के कुलों में से गिलाद, जो माकीर का पुत्र और मनश्शे का पोता था, उसके वंश के कुल के पितरों के घरानों के मुख्य मुख्य पुरूष मूसा के समीप जा कर उन प्रधानों के साम्हने, जो इस्त्राएलियों के पितरों के घरानों के मुख्य पुरूष थे, कहने लगे,

2 यहोवा ने हमारे प्रभु को आज्ञा दी थी, कि इस्त्राएलियों को चिट्ठी डालकर देश बांट देना; और फिर यहोवा की यह भी आज्ञा हमारे प्रभु को मिली, कि हमारे सगोत्री सलोफाद का भाग उसकी बेटियों को देना।

3 तो यदि वे इस्त्राएलियों के और किसी गोत्र के पुरूषों से ब्याही जाएं, तो उनका भाग हमारे पितरों के भाग से छूट जाएगा, और जिस गोत्र में से ब्याही जाएं उसी गोत्र के भाग में मिल जाएगा; तब हमारा भाग घट जाएगा।

4 और जब इस्त्राएलियों की जुबली होगी, तब जिस गोत्र में वे ब्याही जाएं उसके भाग में उनका भाग पक्की रीति से मिल जाएगा; और वह हमारे पितरों के गोत्र के भाग से सदा के लिये छूट जाएगा।

5 तब यहोवा से आज्ञा पाकर मूसा ने इस्त्राएलियों से कहा, यूसुफियों के गोत्री ठीक कहते हैं।

6 सलोफाद की बेटियों के विषय में यहोवा ने यह आज्ञा दी है, कि जो वर जिसकी दृष्टि में अच्छा लगे वह उसी से ब्याही जाए; परन्तु वे अपने मूलपुरूष ही के गोत्र के कुल में ब्याही जाएं।

7 और इस्त्राएलियों के किसी गोत्र का भाग दूसरे के गोत्र के भाग में ने मिलने पाए; इस्त्राएली अपने अपने मूलपुरूष के गोत्र के भाग पर बने रहें।

8 और इस्त्राएलियों के किसी गोत्र में किसी की बेटी हो जो भाग पानेवाली हो, वह अपने ही मूलपुरूष के गोत्र के किसी पुरूष से ब्याही जाए, इसलिये कि इस्त्राएली अपने अपने मूलपुरूष के भाग के अधिकारी रहें।

9 किसी गोत्र का भाग दूसरे गोत्र के भाग में मिलने न पाएं; इस्त्राएलियों के एक एक गोत्र के लोग अपने अपने भाग पर बने रहें।

10 यहोवा की आज्ञा के अनुसार जो उसने मूसा को दी सलोफाद की बेटियों ने किया।

11 अर्थात महला, तिर्सा, होग्ला, मिलका, और नोआ, जो सलोफाद की बेटियां थी, उन्होंने अपने चचेरे भाइयों से ब्याह किया।

12 वे यूसुफ के पुत्र मनश्शे के वंश के कुलों में ब्याही गई, और उनका भाग उनके मूलपुरूष के कुल के गोत्र के अधिकार में बना रहा॥

13 जो आज्ञाएं और नियम यहोवा ने मोआब के अराबा में यरीहो के पास की यरदन नदी के तीर पर मूसा के द्वारा इस्त्राएलियों को दिए वे ये ही हैं॥

1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:

2 And they said, The Lord commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

6 This is the thing which the Lord doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.

9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.

10 Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

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

12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.

2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.

6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled.

7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

8 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying,

9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

12 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:

13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire: for so I am commanded.

14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons’ due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.

15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by a statute for ever; as the Lord hath commanded.

16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,

17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?

20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.
