旧约 - 民数记(Numbers)第36章

The family heads of the clan of Gilead son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and the leaders, the heads of the Israelite families.
They said, "When the LORD commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot, he ordered you to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.
Now suppose they marry men from other Israelite tribes; then their inheritance will be taken from our ancestral inheritance and added to that of the tribe they marry into. And so part of the inheritance allotted to us will be taken away.
When the Year of Jubilee for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry, and their property will be taken from the tribal inheritance of our forefathers."
Then at the LORD'S command Moses gave this order to the Israelites: "What the tribe of the descendants of Joseph is saying is right.
This is what the LORD commands for Zelophehad's daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within the tribal clan of their father.
No inheritance in Israel is to pass from tribe to tribe, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal land inherited from his forefathers.
Every daughter who inherits land in any Israelite tribe must marry someone in her father's tribal clan, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.
No inheritance may pass from tribe to tribe, for each Israelite tribe is to keep the land it inherits."
So Zelophehad's daughters did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Zelophehad's daughters--Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah--married their cousins on their father's side.
They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in their father's clan and tribe.
These are the commands and regulations the LORD gave through Moses to the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
民数记第卅六章   第 36 章 

  民 36:1-9> 合情合理又合法的处事智慧来自谁?遇到难题时我通常…… 

  36:1-9 西罗非哈有五个女儿,但没有儿子。按当时习俗,人如果没有儿子,产业就都要归其他至亲男性;如此一来,西罗非哈家族的名字就要灭没了,故当他死后,他的女儿们去见摩西,恳求改变这习俗。为此神吩咐摩西,产业要归女儿( 27:8 )。但又出现她们出嫁的问题。如果她们嫁给其他支派的人,到了禧年,其地业就要归于别的支派了。所以摩西吩咐说,她们只可以嫁给同一支派的人,好使各支派保持原有的产业。后来当各派领受产业时,他们就照神的吩咐,将产业分给西罗非哈的女儿们(参书 17:3-6 )。智慧的领袖遇到特殊情况时,就会考虑如何酌情处理以伸张公义。 

  民 36:13> 以色列人遵从神给摩西的吩咐就顺利,反之便招灾,这启发、提醒我…… 

  36:13 这卷民数记,记载了以色列人在旷野先后三十九年的经历,结束的时候,他们已经来到约旦河边,应许之地清楚在望。旷野飘流即将结束,百姓就要准备下一个伟大的行动──攻占应许之地。在摩西五经中所记载的事,全是警告我们的实例,使我们免犯以色列人所犯的错误。使徒保罗写给哥林多教会的信中,也引用祖宗的行为作为鉴戒(参林前 10:1-12 )。我们从他们的经验中,看出不信神是招灾的根源。我们也学到不可贪享过去的罪中之乐,也不可怨天尤人,在一切事上不可与罪恶妥协。我们一生都要让神来引领,不可忽略民数记中的信息。──《灵修版圣经注释》
