Revised Standard Version RSV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Then drew near the daughters of Zeloph'ehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manas'seh, from the families of Manas'seh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
1 accesserunt autem filiae Salphaad filii Epher filii Galaad filii Machir filii Manasse qui fuit filius Ioseph quarum sunt nomina Maala et Noa et Egla et Melcha et Thersa
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Elea'zar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,
2 steteruntque coram Mosen et Eleazaro sacerdote et cunctis principibus populi ad ostium tabernaculi foederis atque dixerunt
3 "Our father died in the wilderness; he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin; and he had no sons.
3 pater noster mortuus est in deserto nec fuit in seditione quae concitata est contra Dominum sub Core sed in peccato suo mortuus est hic non habuit mares filios cur tollitur nomen illius de familia sua quia non habet filium date nobis possessionem inter cognatos patris nostri
4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brethren."
4 rettulitque Moses causam earum ad iudicium Domini
5 Moses brought their case before the LORD.
5 qui dixit ad eum
6 And the LORD said to Moses,
6 iustam rem postulant filiae Salphaad da eis possessionem inter cognatos patris sui et ei in hereditate succedant
7 "The daughters of Zeloph'ehad are right; you shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
7 ad filios autem Israhel loqueris haec
8 And you shall say to the people of Israel, 'If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
8 homo cum mortuus fuerit absque filio ad filiam eius transibit hereditas
9 And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
9 si filiam non habuerit habebit successores fratres suos
10 And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
10 quod si et fratres non fuerint dabitis hereditatem fratribus patris eius
11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be to the people of Israel a statute and ordinance, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"
11 sin autem nec patruos habuerit dabitur hereditas his qui ei proximi sunt eritque hoc filiis Israhel sanctum lege perpetua sicut praecepit Dominus Mosi
12 The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Ab'arim, and see the land which I have given to the people of Israel.
12 dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen ascende in montem istum Abarim et contemplare inde terram quam daturus sum filiis Israhel
13 And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was gathered,
13 cumque videris eam ibis et tu ad populum tuum sicut ivit frater tuus Aaron
14 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin during the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes." (These are the waters of Mer'ibah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
14 quia offendistis me in deserto Sin in contradictione multitudinis nec sanctificare me voluistis coram ea super aquas hae sunt aquae Contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin
15 Moses said to the LORD,
15 cui respondit Moses
16 "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
16 provideat Dominus Deus spirituum omnis carnis hominem qui sit super multitudinem hanc
17 who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD may not be as sheep which have no shepherd."
17 et possit exire et intrare ante eos et educere illos vel introducere ne sit populus Domini sicut oves absque pastore
18 And the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand upon him;
18 dixitque Dominus ad eum tolle Iosue filium Nun virum in quo est spiritus et pone manum tuam super eum
19 cause him to stand before Elea'zar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall commission him in their sight.
19 qui stabit coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni multitudine
20 You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey.
20 et dabis ei praecepta cunctis videntibus et partem gloriae tuae ut audiat eum omnis synagoga filiorum Israhel
21 And he shall stand before Elea'zar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD; at his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation."
21 pro hoc si quid agendum erit Eleazar sacerdos consulet Dominum ad verbum eius egredietur et ingredietur ipse et omnes filii Israhel cum eo et cetera multitudo
22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; he took Joshua and caused him to stand before Elea'zar the priest and the whole congregation,
22 fecit Moses ut praeceperat Dominus cumque tulisset Iosue statuit eum coram Eleazaro sacerdote et omni frequentia populi
23 and he laid his hands upon him, and commissioned him as the LORD directed through Moses.
23 et inpositis capiti eius manibus cuncta replicavit quae mandaverat Dominus
