Verse 2<\/span>. To give the inheritance of Zelophehad – unto his<\/B><\/I> <\/B>daughters.<\/B><\/I>] See this case spoken of at large on Nu 27:1-11<\/span>.<\/P> <\/P> Either the first eleven<\/I> verses of Nu 27:1-11<\/span> should come in before this chapter, or this chapter should come in immediately after those eleven verses; they certainly both make parts of the same subject.<\/P> <\/P> Here Moses determines that heiresses should marry in their own tribe, that no part of the ancient inheritance might be alienated from the original family.<\/P><\/p>\n Our brother, <\/B>i.e. our kinsman, one of our tribe, Jos 17:2<\/span>,3<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And they said<\/strong>,…. One in the name of the rest:<\/p>\n the Lord commanded my lord<\/strong>; that is, Moses, whom they address in a very respectable manner, being the chief governor of the nation under God:<\/p>\n to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel<\/strong>; which command may be seen, in Nu 26:53<\/span>:<\/p>\n and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother<\/strong>; or kinsman, being of the same tribe:<\/p>\n unto his daughters<\/strong>; who sued for it, and upon Moses’s consulting the Lord about it, it was ordered they should have it, Nu 27:1<\/span> and which these princes observed was likely to be attended with the following inconvenience.<\/p>\n 2. And they said, The Lord commanded my lord. They here allege a kind of discrepancy, in that the tribes had had the land allotted to them agreeably to God’s command, but now their lots would be thrown into confusion, when the inheritance should pass over to another tribe. They assume it, however, to be an acknowledged impossibility, that God should be inconsistent with Himself: hence it was necessary that an interpretation should be delivered in order to remove the legal contradiction ( ἀντινομίαν ) The Law of God, say they, which ought to remain inviolable, enjoins that the land should be distxibuted by lot; how, then, will it accord that women should carry elsewhere the inheritance of their own tribe? Thus, in seeking a remedy for this evil, they submit themselves to God’s governance, and reverently accept what He had prescribed. And further, they enlarge upon the absurdity which would arisen from hence; viz., that in the fiftieth year, when they were to return to their original lots, so much would be withdrawn from the portion of the tribe of Manasseh as the daughters of Zelophehad had taken away with them. Reasonably, therefore, do they demand that a decree should be given to reconcile the two former laws, which otherwise appeared to be at variance with each other. <\/p>\n The LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4. <\/p>\n my lord = Moses, to whom the commandment was given. Num 26:52, Num 26:53, &c.; Num 27:6, Num 27:7. <\/p>\n The Lord commanded: To one division of the tribe of Manasseh, a portion had been assigned eastward of Jordan; but Zelophehad was of that division, to which an inheritance was afterwards allotted west of Jordan; yet, expecting the promised land, the elders of the Manassites now propose a difficulty, upon the adjudged case of Zelophehad’s daughters – Num 27:1-11. If the females should inherit, in defect of male issue, and should intermarry with other tribes they would diminish the interest, and weaken the influence of their own tribes, and give occasion to future confusion, and perhaps contention. The Manassites therefore referred the case to Moses; and he, by the authority of God, annexed a clause, which would effectually keep the tribes and inheritances distinct, as long as it was observed. Heiresses were not allowed to marry out of their own tribe, though within those bounds they might consult their own inclinations.
