1Llegaron los príncipes de los padres de la familia de Galaad hijo de Maquir, hijo de Manasés, de las familias de los hijos de José; y hablaron delante de Moisés y de los príncipes, jefes de las casas paternas de los hijos de Israel,

2y dijeron: Jehová mandó a mi señor que por sorteo diese la tierra a los hijos de Israel en posesión; también ha mandado Jehová a mi señor, que dé la posesión de Zelofehad nuestro hermano a sus hijas.

3Y si ellas se casaren con algunos de los hijos de las otras tribus de los hijos de Israel, la herencia de ellas será así quitada de la herencia de nuestros padres, y será añadida a la herencia de la tribu a que se unan; y será quitada de la porción de nuestra heredad.

4Y cuando viniere el jubileo de los hijos de Israel, la heredad de ellas será añadida a la heredad de la tribu de sus maridos; así la heredad de ellas será quitada de la heredad de la tribu de nuestros padres.

5Entonces Moisés mandó a los hijos de Israel por mandato de Jehová, diciendo: La tribu de los hijos de José habla rectamente.

6Esto es lo que ha mandado Jehová acerca de las hijas de Zelofehad, diciendo: Cásense como a ellas les plazca, pero en la familia de la tribu de su padre se casarán,

7para que la heredad de los hijos de Israel no sea traspasada de tribu en tribu; porque cada uno de los hijos de Israel estará ligado a la heredad de la tribu de sus padres.

8Y cualquiera hija que tenga heredad en las tribus de los hijos de Israel, con alguno de la familia de la tribu de su padre se casará, para que los hijos de Israel posean cada uno la heredad de sus padres,

9y no ande la heredad rodando de una tribu a otra, sino que cada una de las tribus de los hijos de Israel estará ligada a su heredad.

10Como Jehová mandó a Moisés, así hicieron las hijas de Zelofehad.

11Y así Maala, Tirsa, Hogla, Milca y Noa, hijas de Zelofehad, se casaron con hijos de sus tíos paternos.

12Se casaron en la familia de los hijos de Manasés, hijo de José; y la heredad de ellas quedó en la tribu de la familia de su padre.

13Estos son los mandamientos y los estatutos que mandó Jehová por medio de Moisés a los hijos de Israel en los campos de Moab, junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó.

Versículo 4

I. And when the year of jubilee came round (see Lev 25:10), their inheritance would be entirely with…

And when the year of jubilee came round (see Lev 25:10), their inheritance would be entirely withdrawn from the tribe of Manasseh.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.). 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.

Versículo 5

Moses declared that what they had affirmed was right (כּן), and then, by command of Jehovah, he told the daughters of Zelophehad that they might marry whoever pleased them (the suffix ־הם, attached to בּעיני, for ־הן, as in Exo 1:21; Gen 31:9, etc.), but that he must belong to the family of their father's tribe, that is to say, must be a Manassite. For (Num 36:7) the inheritance was not to turn away the Israelites from one tribe to another (not to be transferred from one to another), but every Israelite was to keep to the inheritance of his father's tribe, and no one was to enter upon the possession of another tribe by marrying an heiress belonging to that tribe. This is afterwards extended, in Num 36:8 and Num 36:9, into a general law for every heiress in Israel.

In Num 36:10-12 it is related that, in accordance with these instructions, the five daughters of Zelophehad, whose names are repeated from Num 26:33 and Num 27:1 (see also Jos 17:3), married husbands from the families of the Manassites, namely, sons of their cousins (? uncles), and thus their inheritance remained in their father's tribe (על היה, to be and remain upon anything).

The conclusion refers not merely to the laws and rights contained in Num 33:50-36:13, but includes the rest of the laws given in the steppes of Moab (ch. 25-30), and forms the conclusion tot he whole book, which places the lawgiving in the steppes of Moab by the side of the lawgiving at Mount Sinai (Lev 26:46; Lev 27:34) and bring sit to a close, though without in any way implying that the explanation (בּאר, Deu 1:5), further development, and hortatory enforcement of the law and its testimonies, statutes, and judgments (Deu 1:5; Deu 4:44., Num 12:1.), which follow in Deuteronomy, are not of Mosaic origin.
