ThomsonTHEN came the chiefs of the community of the children of Galaad, son of Machir, son of Manasses, of the tribe of the children of Joseph, and spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the chiefs of the patriarchal houses of the Israelites,

BrentonAnd the heads of the tribe of the sons of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasse, of the tribe of the sons of Joseph, drew near, and spoke before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the heads of the houses of the families of the children of Israel:

GreekΚαὶ προσῆλθον οἱ ἄρχοντες φυλῆς υἱῶν Γαλαὰδ υἱοῦ Μαχὶρ υἱοῦ Μανασσῆ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς υἱῶν Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἔναντι Μωυσῆ, καὶ ἔναντι Ἐλεάζαρ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ ἔναντι τῶν ἀρχόντων οἴκων πατριῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ,

Thomsonand said, The Lord hath commanded our lord to give the land of inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and the Lord hath commanded our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad, our brother, to his daughters.

Brentonand they said, The Lord commanded our lord to render the land of inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and the Lord appointed our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our brother to his daughters.

Greekκαὶ εἶπαν, τῷ κυρῖῳ ἡμῶν ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ἀποδοῦναι τὴν γῆν τῆς κληρονομίας ἐν κλήρῳ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ· καὶ τῷ κυρίῳ συνέταξε Κύριος δοῦναι τὴν κληρονομίαν Σαλπαὰδ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ἡμῶν ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτοῦ.

ThomsonNow they may become wives to one of the communities of the Israelites, and their lot may be taken from the possession of our fathers, and added to the inheritance of that tribe among which they may be married; so their inheritance may be taken from the lot of our inheritance;

BrentonAnd they will become wives in one of the tribes of the children of Israel; so their inheritance shall be taken away from the possession of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women shall marry, and shall be taken away from the portion of our inheritance.

GreekΚαὶ ἔσονται ἑνὶ τῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ γυναῖκες· καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσεται ὁ κλῆρος αὐτῶν ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως τῶν πατέρεν ἡμῶν, καὶ προστεθήσεται εἰς κληρονομίαν τῆς φυλῆς, οἷς ἂν γένωνται γυναῖκες, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ κλήρου τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν ἀφαιρεθήσεται.

Thomsonand though there may be a jubilee of the children of Israel, still their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe among whom they may have been married, and their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of our patriarchal tribe.

BrentonAnd if there shall be a release of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which the women marry, and their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of our family's tribe.

GreekἘὰν δὲ γένηται ἡ ἄφεσις τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ προστεθήσεται ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν τῆς φυλῆς, οἷς ἂν γένωνται γυναῖκες, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς κληρονομίας φυλῆς πατριᾶς ἡμῶν ἀφαιρεθήσεται ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν.

ThomsonWhereupon Moses gave a charge to the children of Israel, by the command of the Lord, saying, In regard to what the tribe of the children of Joseph say,

BrentonAnd Moses charged the children of Israel by the commandment of the Lord, saying, Thus says the tribe of the children of Joseph.

GreekΚαὶ ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ διὰ προστάγματος Κυρίου, λέγων, οὕτως φυλὴ υἱῶν Ἰωσὴφ λέγουσι.

ThomsonThis is the thing which the Lord hath commanded the daughters of Salpaad, saying, Let them marry whom they please, but they must marry men of the community of their father,

BrentonThis is the thing which the Lord has appointed the daughters of Salpaad, saying, Let them marry where they please, only let them marry men of their father's tribe.

GreekΤοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ συνέταξε Κύριος ταῖς θυγατράσι Σαλπαὰδ, λέγων, οὗ ἀρέσκῃ ἐναντίον αὐτῶν, ἔστωσαν γυναῖκες, πλὴν ἐκ τοῦ δήμου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ἔστωσαν γυναῖκες.

Thomsonso there shall be no transferring of inheritance among the children of Israel, from one tribe to another. Because the children of Israel must be kept together, every one in the inheritance of the patriarchal family of his tribe,

BrentonSo shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel go about from tribe to tribe, for the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in the inheritance of his family's tribe.

GreekΚαὶ οὐχὶ περιστραφήσεται κληρονομία τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ φυλῆς ἐπὶ φύλην, ὅτι ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ κληρονομίᾳ τῆς φυλῆς τῆς πατριᾶς αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσονται οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ.

Thomsontherefore every daughter, who by being next of kin, inheriteth a possession among the tribes of Israel, must marry one of the community of her father, that the children of Israel may inherit by nearness of kin, every one the inheritance of his father’s family:

BrentonAnd whatever daughter is heiress to a property of the tribes of the children of Israel, such women shall be married each to one of her father's tribe, that the sons of Israel may each inherit the property of his father's tribe.

GreekΚαὶ πᾶσα θυγάτηρ ἀγχιατεύουσα κληρονομίαν ἐκ τῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἑνὶ τῶν ἐκ τοῦ δήμου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς ἔσονται γυναῖκες, ἵνα ἀγχιστεύσωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἕκαστος τὴν κληρονομίαν τὴν πατρικὴν αὐτοῦ.

Thomsonby which means the allotment will not be transferred from one tribe to another; but the Israelites will be kept together, every one in his inheritance.

BrentonAnd the inheritance shall not go about from one tribe to another, but the children of Israel shall steadfastly continue each in his own inheritance.

GreekΚαὶ οὐ περιστραφήσεται ὁ κλῆρος ἐκ φυλῆς ἐπὶ φυλὴν ἑτέραν, ἀλλʼ ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ κληρονομίᾳ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσονται οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ.

ThomsonAccordingly they did for the daughters of Salpaad, in the manner the Lord commanded Moses;

BrentonAs the Lord commanded Moses, so did they to the daughters of Salpaad.

GreekὋν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος Μωυσῇ, οὕτως ἐποίησαν θυγατράσι Σαλπαάδ.

Thomsonand Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Maala, the daughters of Salpaad, were married to their cousins.

BrentonSo Thersa, and Egla, and Melcha, and Nua, and Malaa, the daughters of Salpaad, married their cousins;

GreekΚαὶ ἐγένοντο Θερσὰ καὶ Ἐγλὰ καὶ Μελχὰ καὶ Νούα καὶ Μαλαὰ θυγατέρες Σαλπαὰδ, τοῖς ἀνεψιοῖς αὐτῶν,

ThomsonThey were married to men of the tribe of Manasses, one of the sons of Joseph, and their inheritance was kept in the tribe to which the community of their father belonged.

Brentonthey were married to men of the tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph; and their inheritance was attached to the tribe of their father's family.

Greekἐκ τοῦ δήμου τοῦ Μανασσῆ υἱῶν Ἰωσὴφ ἐγενήθησαν γυναῖκες· καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν φυλὴν δήμου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.

ThomsonThese are the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments which the Lord gave in charge, by the ministry of Moses, on the west of Moab, on the Jordan, over against Jericho.

BrentonThese are the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, at the west of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.

GreekΑὗται αἱ ἐντολαὶ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα, ἃ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ ἐπὶ δυσμῶν Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κατὰ Ἰεριχώ.
