4<\/strong>. In the year of Jubile, i.e. every fiftieth year, all purchased<\/em> land returned to its original owners, or their descendants. But the law of Jubile would not affect the cases in which land was inherited<\/em> by persons of another tribe. It would, indeed, be inherited by descendants of Zelophehad in the female line, but this would not prevent it from being permanently severed from the tribe of Manasseh.<\/p>\n The law of Jubile is contained in Leviticus 25<\/span>. See notes in the commentary in this series. The word ‘Jubile’ is formed from the Heb. ybhl<\/em>, a ‘ ram’s horn<\/em> ’ trumpet. The fiftieth year was called ‘the year of the ybhl<\/em>,’ or, more shortly, ‘the ybhl<\/em>,’ because it was ushered in by the blowing of trumpets.<\/p>\n Which God appointed principally for this end, to preserve the inheritance in the hands of the tribes and families to which they were first given. <\/P> <\/p>\n And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be<\/strong>,…. At which time inheritances were to be restored to the original proprietors of them; yet this would be of no service in the present case, but rather the contrary, since it would fix the inheritances of these daughters in another tribe or in other tribes into which they should marry; and so Aben Ezra and Jarchi interpret it, “though” there shall be a jubilee, that will be of no advantage; it will not remedy this inconvenience: for<\/p>\n then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received<\/strong>; it being one principal part of the business of the jubilee year to settle the inheritances of every tribe; and these daughters being married into another tribe, of consequence their inheritance would be placed there; or should it be sold by their husbands, or their sons, at the year of jubilee it would be restored to them as of such a tribe:<\/p>\n so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers<\/strong>; and thereby be a lessening of it; and every tribe being ambitious of preserving and increasing its grandeur, this affair sensibly affected the heads of this tribe.<\/p>\n And when the year of jubilee came round (see Lev 25:10<\/span>), their inheritance would be entirely withdrawn from the tribe of Manasseh. Strictly speaking, the hereditary property would pass at once, when the marriage took place, to the tribe into which an heiress married, and not merely at the year of jubilee. But up to the year of jubilee it was always possible that the hereditary property might revert to the tribe of Manasseh, either through the marriage being childless, or through the purchase of the inheritance. But in the year of jubilee all landed property that had been alienated was to return to its original proprietor or his heir (Lev 25:33<\/span>.). In this way the transfer of an inheritance from one tribe to another, which took place in consequence of a marriage, would be established in perpetuity. And it was in this sense that the elders of the tribe of Manasseh meant that a portion of the inheritance which had fallen to them by lot would be taken away from their tribe at the year of jubilee.<\/p>\n (4) And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be.<\/strong>Up to the year of jubile it was possible that the inheritance might revert to the tribe of Manasseh, either by purchase, or as the result of the marriages of the daughters proving childless. At the jubile the transfer of the inheritance to the tribe or tribes into which the daughters of Zelophehad might have married would become permanent.<\/p>\n 4<\/strong>. <\/strong> The jubilee <\/strong> Lev 25:8-55<\/span>, notes. “Strictly speaking, the hereditary property would pass at once, when the marriage took place, to the tribe into which an heiress married, and not merely at the year of jubilee. But up to the year of jubilee it was always possible that the hereditary property might revert to the tribe of Manasseh, either through the marriage being childless, or through the purchase of the inheritance.<\/p>\n But in the year of jubilee all landed property that had been alienated was to return to its original proprietor or his heir. Lev 25:33<\/span>, etc. In this way the transfer of an inheritance from one tribe to another, which took place in consequence of a marriage, would be established in perfect unity.” Keil and Delitzsch.<\/p>\n Num 36:4<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>And when the jubileeshall be<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> The reason of the complaint was, that if heiresses should marry into other tribes, the paternal inheritance would thus be alienated from the tribe, contrary to the divine purpose; nor would the year of jubilee itself, though designed for preserving a perfect distinction of estates, tribes, and families, (Lev 10:13<\/span>.) become any remedy for this inconvenience; since these inheritances, by the common right of marriage, would descend at the jubilee to the heirs of those women who married into another tribe, even though they should be redeemed by the tribe of Manasseh. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS.<\/strong>The heads of this tribe, foreseeing an inconvenience which might arise concerning the portion of Zelophehad’s daughters, bring the case before Moses. As they were heiresses, and might therefore be greatly courted for their fortunes, (for money is too commonly the vile inducement to marriage,) should they marry out of their own tribe, their inheritance, which God had assigned them, would go to their husband’s tribe, and might be the occasion of many quarrels in like cases in futurity. It is our wisdom to foresee and to prevent evils in prospect, and, especially in our settlements and families, to remove, as much as possible, every occasion of dispute. <\/p>\n The Jubilee year was the year of release, when every man’s inheritance of land was to be restored to its original owner. See Lev 25:10<\/span> .<\/p>\n jubile. Compare Lev 25. <\/p>\n Lev 25:10-18, Lev 25:23, Isa 61:2, Luk 4:18, Luk 4:19 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Lev 25:9 – jubilee Lev 25:13 – General<\/p>\n Num 36:4. When the jubilee shall be, &c. The jubilee itself, they remonstrate, though designed, among other purposes, to preserve a perfect distinction of estates, tribes, and families, would afford no remedy for this inconvenience, since these inheritances would descend, at the jubilee, by the common right of marriage, to the heirs of these women, should they marry into another tribe.<\/p>\n 36:4 And when the {c} jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.<\/p>\n (c) Signifying that at no time could it return, for in the Jubile all things returned to their own tribes.<\/p>\n And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 4.
