2 ଏହି ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ମାଶାେ, ଇଲିଯାସର ଯାଜକ, ଅଧିପତି ଓସମସ୍ତ ମଣ୍ତଳୀ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ସମାଗମ ତମ୍ବୁ ଦ୍ବାର ରେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେ କହିଲେ,
3 ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପିତା ମରୁଭୂମିରେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କଲେ। ତାଙ୍କର ନିଜ ପାପ ନିମନ୍ତେ ସେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କଲେ। ସହେିମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜଣେ ନଥିଲେ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ କୋରହ ଦଳ ରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ନତେୃତ୍ବ ନଇେଥିଲେ। ତାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ର ନଥିଲା।
4 ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପିତାଙ୍କର ନାମ ଲୋପ ପାଇୟିବ, ଯେ ହତେୁ ତାଙ୍କର କୌଣସି ପୁତ୍ର ନଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭ ପିତୃବଂଶୀଯ ଭାଇମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭୂମି ଦିଅ।
5 ତେଣୁ ମାଶାେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଆଜ୍ଞା ପାଇଁ ନିବଦନେ କଲେ।
6 ତହୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ,
7 ସଲଫାଦର କନ୍ଯାଗଣ ଯଥାର୍ଥ ଅଛନ୍ତି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପିତୃବଂଶୀଯ ଭାତୃଗଣ ମଧିଅରେ ଅବଶ୍ଯ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପୈତୃକ ଅଧିକାର ଦବେ। ତେଣୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ତାହା ଦିଅ, ଯାହା ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପିତା ପାଇଥାନ୍ତେ।
8 ଆଉ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ଏହି ବିଧି ପ୍ରଚଳନ କର, 'ଯଦି କୌଣସି ଲୋକର ପୁତ୍ର ନଥାଇ ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କରେ, ତବେେ ତାହାର ଅଧିକାର ତା'ର କନ୍ଯା ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବ।
9 ଯଦି ତାହାର କନ୍ଯା ବା ପୁତ୍ର ନଥାଏ ତବେେ ତାହାର ଅଧିକାର ତାହାର ଭାଇମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦବେ।
10 ପୁଣି ଯଦି ତାହାର ଭାଇ ନଥାଏ ତବେେ ତାହାର ଅଧିକାର ତା'ର ପିତାର ଭାଇମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦବେ।
11 ଆଉ ଯବେେ ତା'ର ପିତାର ଭାଇମାନେ ନଥାନ୍ତି, ତବେେ ତାହାର ପରିବାର ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଏବଂ ନିକଟ ସଂପର୍କୀଯ ଜ୍ଞାତିକୁ ତାହାର ଅଧିକାର ଦବେ। ଏହା ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ବିଚାରବିଧି ହବେ। ଆଉ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ ଏହି ଆଜ୍ଞା ହେଲେ।'
12 ଅନନ୍ତର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ୟର୍ବ୍ଦନ ନଦୀର ପୂର୍ବ ରେ ଥିବା ଏହି ଅବାରୀମ ପର୍ବତ ଆରୋହଣ କର, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯେଉଁ ଦେଶ ଦଇେଅଛୁ ତାହା ନିରୀକ୍ଷଣ କର।
13 ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିରୀକ୍ଷଣ କଲାପରେ, ହାରୋଣଙ୍କ ତୁଲ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୁର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣ ନିକଟକୁ ୟିବ।
14 ମନେ ପକାଅ, ଯେତବେେଳେ ସୀନ ମରୁଭୂମିରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଜଳ ପାଇଁ କୋର୍ଧିତ ହେଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଓ ହାରୋଣ ମାରେ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଅମାନ୍ଯ କଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାରେ ପବିତ୍ରତାକୁ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ସମ୍ମାନ କଲ ନାହିଁ। (ଏହି ସୀନ୍ ମରୁଭୂମି କାଦେଶସ୍ଥ ମିରୀବାଃ-ଜଳ ମଧିଅରେ ଘଟଣା କ୍ରମେ ହବେ।)
15 ଅନନ୍ତର ମାଶାେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ,
16 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପ୍ରାଣୀସମାଜର ଚିନ୍ତାଧାରା ଜାଣନ୍ତି। ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମୁଁ ବିନଯ କରୁଛି ଏହି ମଣ୍ତଳୀ ପ୍ରତି ଏକ ପ୍ରତିନିଧି ନିୟୁକ୍ତ କରନ୍ତୁ।
17 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭଙ୍କୁ ବିନଯ କରୁଛ ଏକ ପ୍ରତିନିଧି ବାଛିବାକୁ, ୟିଏ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଆଗଇେ ନବେ ଏବଂ ନୂତନ ଭୂମିକୁ ଆଣି ପାରିବ। ଏହିପ୍ରକା ରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଲୋକମାନେ ବିନା ପାଳକରେ ମଷେପଲ ତୁଲ୍ଯ ହବେେ ନାହିଁ।
18 ତହୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ନୂନର ପୁତ୍ର ଯିହାଶୂେୟକୁ ନିଅ, ସେ ଉପୟୁକ୍ତତା ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଅଟେ, ପୁଣି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ନିଅ।
19 ଆଉ ସମସ୍ତ ମଣ୍ତଳୀ ଓ ଯାଜକ ଇଲିଯାସ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ କରାଅ ଓ ତାଙ୍କୁ ତା'ର ଆଦେଶ ଦିଅ।
20 ତାଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣାର କିଛି ଅଧିକାର ଦିଅ ଯେପରି ସମସ୍ତ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ମାନିବେ।
21 ପୁଣି ସେ ଇଲିଯାସର ଯାଜକ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ଠିଆ ହବେ, ଇଲିଯାସର ତାହା ପାଇଁ ଊରୀମର ବିଚାର ଦ୍ବାରା ସଦାପ୍ରଭିଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ସେ ପଚାରିବ; ତବେେ ସମୁଦାଯ ମଣ୍ତଳୀ 'ବାହାରକୁ ଯିବେ'ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଆଜ୍ଞା ଅନୁସାରେ ଆସିବେ।
22 ଏଥି ରେ ମାଶାେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଆଜ୍ଞାନୁସା ରେ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ କର୍ମ କଲେ; ସେ ଯିହାଶୂେୟଙ୍କୁ ଯାଜକ ଇଲିଯାସର ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ଓ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ କରାଇଲେ।
23 ପୁଣି ସେ ତାଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ହସ୍ତାର୍ପଣ କଲେ, ପୁଣି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେ ହାତ ରେ ଯରେୂପ କହିଥିଲେ, ସେ ରୂପ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଲେ।
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 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the Lord, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place.
4 The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the Lord: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
5 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
7 And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
8 In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 Thus saith the Lord God; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord God.
10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
12 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
13 This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:
14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer:
15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord God.
16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel.
17 And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
18 Thus saith the Lord God; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
23 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the Lord, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
24 And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
