Numbers 36:6 in Context — Numbers 36

4 Et quand viendra le jubilé pour les enfants d’Israël, leur héritage sera ajouté à celui de la tribu à laquelle elles appartiendront, et il sera retranché de celui de la tribu de nos pères.

5 Moïse transmit aux enfants d’Israël les ordres de l’Éternel. Il dit: La tribu des fils de Joseph a raison.

6 Voici ce que l’Éternel ordonne au sujet des filles de Tselophchad: elles se marieront à qui elles voudront, pourvu qu’elles se marient dans une famille de la tribu de leurs pères.

7 Aucun héritage parmi les enfants d’Israël ne passera d’une tribu à une autre tribu, mais les enfants d’Israël s’attacheront chacun à l’héritage de la tribu de ses pères.

8 Et toute fille, possédant un héritage dans les tribus des enfants d’Israël, se mariera à quelqu’un d’une famille de la tribu de son père, afin que les enfants d’Israël possèdent chacun l’héritage de leurs pères.
