Contextual Overview

1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah. 2 They stood in front of Moses and Eleazar the religious leader, and the leaders, and all the people at the door of the meeting tent. The daughters said, 3 "Our father died in the desert. He was not one of those who gathered together with Korah against the Lord. But he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family because he had no son? Give us land among our father's brothers." 5 Moses asked the Lord what should be done. 6 Then the Lord said to Moses, 7 "The daughters of Zelophehad are right in what they say. Be sure to give them their own land among their father's brothers. Give them what would have been given to their father. 8 And say to the people of Israel, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then give what belongs to him to his daughter. 9 If he has no daughter, then give what belongs to him to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers, give what belongs to him to his father's brothers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses brought their cause before the Lord. For it seems it was too difficult for this court to decide; and it devolving upon Moses, as the president of it, and who only could have recourse to God at all times, he carried it to him and consulted with him about it: this, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem say, was one of the four causes that came before Moses the prophet, that he solved according to the mind of the Lord, which he consulted; one was concerning the blasphemer, Leviticus 24:11, the other concerning those defiled by the dead, Numbers 9:8, the third concerning the sabbath breaker, Numbers 15:34 and the fourth was this; Numbers 15:34- :.
