Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead,.... The princes, as Aben Ezra; so the Septuagint version, which was the tribe of Manasseh, whose grandson Gilead was, as follows:
the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near; to the house of judgment, as the Targum of Jonathan, the sanhedrim or court of judicature, consisting of the following persons:
and spoke before Moses; the Septuagint version adds, "and before Eleazar the priest", as in Numbers 27:2
and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: the princes of the several tribes; or it may be rather the seventy elders.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The daughters of Zelophehad had obtained an ordinance Numbers 28:6-11 which permitted the daughters of an Israelite dying without male issue to inherit their fatherâs property. The chiefs of the Machirites, of whom Zelophehad had been one, now obtain a supplemental enactment, directing that heiresses should marry within their own tribe.
Numbers 36:4
Be taken away - i. e. be permanently taken away. The jubilee year, by not restoring the estate to the tribe to which it originally belonged, would in effect confirm the alienation.
Numbers 36:11
Unto their fatherâs brothersâ sons - Or more generally, âunto the sons of their kinsmen.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXVI
The inconveniences which might be produced by daughters,
inheritances, marrying out of their own tribe, remedied on the
recommendation of certain chiefs of the tribe of Joseph, who
stated the case of the daughters of Zelophehad, 1-4.
The daughters of Zelophehad are commanded to marry in their own
tribe, 5, 6;
which is to be an ordinance in all similar circumstances, 7-9.
The daughters of Zelophehad marry their father's brother's sons,
and thus their inheritance is preserved in their own tribe,
10-12.
The conclusion of the commandments given by the Lord to the
Israelites in the plains of Moab, 13.
