Numbers 27

1 तब यूसुफ के पुत्र मनश्शे के वंश के कुलों में से सलोफाद, जो हेपेर का पुत्र, और गिलाद का पोता, और मनश्शे के पुत्र माकीर का पर पोता था, उसकी बेटियां जिनके नाम महला, नोवा, होग्ला, मिलका, और तिर्सा हैं वे पास आईं।

2 और वे मूसा और एलीआजर याजक और प्रधानों और सारी मण्डली के साम्हने मिलापवाले तम्बू के द्वार पर खड़ी हो कर कहने लगीं,

3 हमारा पिता जंगल में मर गया; परन्तु वह उस मण्डली में का न था जो कोरह की मण्डली के संग हो कर यहोवा के विरुद्ध इकट्ठी हुई थी, वह अपने ही पाप के कारण मरा; और उसके कोई पुत्र न था।

4 तो हमारे पिता का नाम उसके कुल में से पुत्र न होने के कारण क्यों मिट जाए? हमारे चाचाओं के बीच हमें भी कुछ भूमि निज भाग करके दे।

5 उनकी यह बिनती मूसा ने यहोवा को सुनाईं।

6 यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा,

7 सलोफाद की बेटियां ठीक कहती हैं; इसलिये तू उनके चाचाओं के बीच उन को भी अवश्य ही कुछ भूमि निज भाग करके दे, अर्थात उनके पिता का भाग उनके हाथ सौंप दे।

8 और इस्त्राएलियों से यह कह, कि यदि कोई मनुष्य निपुत्र मर जाए, तो उसका भाग उसकी बेटी के हाथ सौंपना।

9 और यदि उसके कोई बेटी भी न हो, तो उसका भाग उसके भाइयों को देना।

10 और यदि उसके भाई भी न हों, तो उसका भाग चाचाओं को देना।

11 और यदि उसके चाचा भी न हों, तो उसके कुल में से उसका जो कुटुम्बी सब से समीप हो उसको उसका भाग देना, कि वह उसका अधिकारी हो। इस्त्राएलियों के लिये यह न्याय की विधि ठहरेगी, जैसे कि यहोवा ने मूसा को आज्ञा दी॥

12 फिर यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा, इस अबारीम नाम पर्वत के ऊपर चढ़ के उस देश को देख ले जिसे मैं ने इस्त्राएलियों को दिया है।

13 और जब तू उसको देख लेगा, तब अपने भाई हारून की नाईं तू भी अपने लोगों में जा मिलेगा,

14 क्योंकि सीन नाम जंगल में तुम दोनों ने मण्डली के झगड़ने के समय मेरी आज्ञा को तोड़कर मुझ से बलवा किया, और मुझे सोते के पास उनकी दृष्टि में पवित्र नहीं ठहराया। ( यह मरीबा नाम सोता है जो सीन नाम जंगल के कादेश में है )

15 मूसा ने यहोवा से कहा,

16 यहोवा, जो सारे प्राणियों की आत्माओं का परमेश्वर है, वह इस मण्डली के लोगों के ऊपर किसी पुरूष को नियुक्त कर दे,

17 जो उसके साम्हने आया जाया करे, और उनका निकालने और पैठानेवाला हो; जिस से यहोवा की मण्डली बिना चरवाहे की भेड़ बकरियों के समान न रहे।

18 यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा, तू नून के पुत्र यहोशू को ले कर उस पर हाथ रख; वह तो ऐसा पुरूष है जिस में मेरा आत्मा बसा है;

19 और उसको एलीआजर याजक के और सारी मण्डली के साम्हने खड़ा करके उनके साम्हने उसे आज्ञा दे।

20 और अपनी महिमा में से कुछ उसे दे, जिस से इस्त्राएलियों की सारी मण्डली उसकी माना करे।

21 और वह एलीआजर याजक के साम्हने खड़ा हुआ करे, और एलीआजर उसके लिये यहोवा से ऊरीम की आज्ञा पूछा करे; और वह इस्त्राएलियों की सारी मण्डली समेत उसके कहने से जाया करे, और उसी के कहने से लौट भी आया करे।

22 यहोवा की इस आज्ञा के अनुसार मूसा ने यहोशू को ले कर, एलीआजर याजक और सारी मण्डली के साम्हने खड़ा करके,

23 उस पर हाथ रखे, और उसको आज्ञा दी जैसे कि यहोवा ने मूसा के द्वारा कहा था॥

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 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.

3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.

8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.

9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.

10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.

11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.

12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.

13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.

14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.

17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:

18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;

20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.

32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
