Contextual Overview

5 Then Moses told the people of Israel what the Lord said. He said, "The family group of the sons of Joseph are right in what they say. 6 This is what the Lord has said about the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Let them marry whom they think best. Only they must marry within the family group of their father.' 7 This way no land of the people of Israel will go from one family group to another. The people of Israel will each hold to the land of the family group of his fathers. 8 Every daughter who comes to own the land of any family group of Israel, must be the wife of one of her father's family group. So every one of the people of Israel may own the land of his fathers. 9 No land will go from one family group to another. For the families of Israel will each hold to his own land." 10 The daughters of Zelophehad did just as the Lord had told Moses. 11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married sons of their father's brothers. 12 They married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. And their land stayed with their father's family group. 13 These are the Laws which the Lord told the people of Israel through Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad. They married into, the family of their father's tribe, according to the following account.

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 father’s 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 father’s brothers’ sons - Or more generally, “unto the sons of their kinsmen.”
