गन्ती 27
1 सेलोफादका पाँच जना छोरीहरू थिए (सेलोफा हेपेरको छोरा थिए, हेपेर गिलादका छोरा थिए, गिलाद माकीरका छोरा थिए, माकीर मनश्शेका छोरा थिए र मनश्शे यूसुफका छोरा थिए। तिनीहरूको नाम यस प्रकारको थियोः महला, नोआ होग्ला, मिल्का र तिर्सा।
2 तिनीहरू भेट हुने पालमा मोशा, पूजाहारी एलाजार, नायकहरू र सारा इस्राएली समुदायको सामुन्ने उभिएर भने,
3 “हाम्रा पिता मरूभूमिमा मर्नुभयो। उहाँ कोरहका अनुयायीहरू जो परमप्रभुको विरूद्धमा गए, तिनीहरूसित हुनु हुँदैन थियो। उहाँ पुत्रहीन हुनुहुन्थ्यो र आफ्नै पापले मर्नुभयो।
4 उहाँको छोरो थिएन भन्दैमा किन उहाँको नाम आफ्नो वंशमा रहँदैन? हामीलाई पनि हाम्रो पिताको दाज्यू-भाईहरूको बराबरमा जमीन दिनुहोस्।”
5 यसर्थ मोशाले यो मामिला परमप्रभु अघि राखे।
6 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
7 “सेलोफाकी छोरीहरूले गरेको बिन्ति न्यायसंगत छ र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो पिताको दाज्यू-भाईहरूसितै जमीनको अंश पाउनु पर्छ। यसर्थ जुन जमीन तिमीले तिनीहरूको पितालाई दिने थियौ त्यो जमीन तिनीहरूलाई देऊ।
8 “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको निम्ति यो नियम बनाएर राख, ‘यदि पुत्रहीन व्यक्ति मरे उसको सबै सम्पत्ति उसकी छोरीहरूले पाउनेछन्।
9 उसकी छोरी पनि नभएको खण्ड त्यो सम्पत्ति उसको आफ्नो दाज्यू-भाईले पाउनेछ।
10 फेरि यदि उसको दाज्यू-भाई नभएको खण्डमा उसको काका-बडा-बाबुले पाउनेछ।
11 उसको काका-बडा-बाबुहरू पनि नभएको खण्डमा उसको सम्पत्ति आफ्नो साख्खै आफन्तहरूले पाउनेछन्। इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमा यो नियम रहन्छ। यो आज्ञा परमप्रभुले मोशालाई दिनु भएको हो।”‘
12 त्यस पछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “यर्दन नदीको मरूभूमिको पहाडमा जाऊ। त्यहाँ तिमीले मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिन लागेको भूमि देख्नेछौ।
13 त्यो भूमि देखे पछि तिम्रो दाज्यु हारून जस्तै तिमी पनि मर्नेछौ।
14 किनभने, सीनैको मरूभूमिमा मानिसहरूले पानीको निम्ति मसंग माग्दा तिमीले मेरो आज्ञा उलघंन गरेका थियौ। तिनीहरूको सामुन्ने तिमीले मलाई सम्मान राखेनौ।” (यो घटना सीनै मरूभूमिमा कादेश नजिकको मरीबाको पानीहरूमा भएको थियो।)
15 मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भन्नुभयो,
16 “परमप्रभु परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले मानिसहरूले के सोचिरहेकाछन् चाल पाउनु हुन्छ। हे परमप्रभु। म प्रार्थना गर्छु कि यी मानिसहरूको निम्ति एउटा मानिस अगुवा चुनिदिनु होस्।
17 म प्रार्थना गर्छु कि तपाईंले एउटा मानिस अगुवा चुनिदिनु होस् ताकि उसले यी मानिसहरूलाई यस भूमि देखि नयाँ भूमिमा अगुवाई गरेर लानेछ। त्यसो भए परमप्रभुका मानिसहरू गोठाला बिनाका भेंडाहरू जस्ता हुनेछैनन्।”
18 त्यसकारण परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “यहोशू नूनको छोरो यी मानिसहरूका नयाँ अगुवा हुनेछन्। ऊसित आत्माको ज्ञान छ तिम्रो हातहरू उसको शिर माथि राखेर उसलाई अगुवा झैं नियुक्त गर।
19 तिनलाई पूजाहारी एलाजार अनि सारा मानिसहरूको अघि राख र अगुवा बनाऊ।
20 “उसलाई अधिकार देऊ यसकारण इस्राएलका सम्पूर्ण समूदायले उसलाई सुन्ने छ।
21 यदि यहोशूले कुनै विषयमा निर्णय लिनु परे तिनी पूजाहारी एलाजार कहाँ जानेछन् अनि एलाजारले परमप्रभुको उत्तर जान्नको निम्ति ऊरीम प्रयोग गर्नेछन्। त्यस पछि यहोशू र अन्य सबै इस्राएलीहरू परमप्रभुको आज्ञा अनुसार चल्नेछन्। यदि उहाँ भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘तिमीहरू युद्धमा जाऊ,’ तब युद्धमा जानेछन् र यदि तिमीहरू, ‘घरमा जाऊ’ भनि भन्नु हुन्छ भने, ‘तब तिनीहरू घर जानेछन्।”
22 परमप्रभुको आज्ञा अनुसार मोशाले गरे। उनले यहोशूलाई इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय तथा पूजाहारीको सम्मुख उभ्याए।
23 त्यसपछि यहोशू माथि मोशाले हात राखे अनि परमप्रभुले तिनलाई दिनु भएको आज्ञा दिए।
1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.
11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,
16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
2 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
6 And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
7 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.
8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.
10 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
11 And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
12 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.
13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;
14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
15 And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;
17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;
19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.
20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.
21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.
22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord.
23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
