1Such things as Caleb giveth his daughter, belong (as some think) either to the dowry or to the augmentation thereof, which might be done by the civil law of that nation. For it was not forbidden, ye wives might not give ground, and lands to their husbands in the name of a dowry, so that they married in their own tribe and family, as now Achsah was given to Othoniel, who assuredly was of the same tribe and family that she was of. But if she had married in an other tribe, it had not ben lawful for her to give ground and lands to her husband by the name of a dowry. For God had commanded, and that diligently and precisely, that ground and lands in especial coming by inheritance should not be alienated from their families for marriages sake. And the daughters of Zalphead gave an occasion of this law making, as it is written in the book of Num. the 27. and 36. chap. For those maidens, having no brethren, obtained of God by Moses, that they might not be put beside their Fathers inheritance, but that in the division of the land of Canaan those lands might be assigned unto them, which should have ben given either to their father or to their brethren. But this was expressedly commanded them that they should not marry out of their own tribe and family.
1Such things as Chaleb geueth his daughter, belong (as some thincke) either to the dowery or to the augmentatiō therof, whiche might be done by the ciuile law of that nation. For it was not forbidden, ye wiues might not geue ground, and landes to their husbandes in the name of a dowery, so that they maryed in their owne tribe and familie, as now Achsah was geuen to Othoniel, who assuredly was of the same tribe and familie that she was of. But if she had maryed in an other tribe, it had not ben lawfull for her to geue grounde and landes to her husband by the name of a dowery. For God had commaunded, and that diligently and precisely, that grounde and landes in especiall commyng by inheritaunce should not be alienated from their families for mariages sake. And the daughters of Zalphead gaue an occasion of this lawe makyng, as it is written in the booke of Num. the 27. and 36. chap. For those maydens, hauyng no brethren, obteyned of God by Moyses, that they might not be put beside their Fathers inheritaunce, but that in the deuisiō of the lande of Chanaan those landes might be assigned vnto them, whiche should haue ben geuen either to their father or to their brethren. But this was expressedly commaunded them that they should not mary out of their owne tribe and familie.
