John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 6. Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons , etc.] Which occasioned such a number of portions; the daughters of Zelophehad are meant, who descended from Manasseh: and the rest of Manasseh, some had the land of Gilead ; that is, those besides the six families before expressed, namely, the two families of the Machirites and Gileadites, ( Numbers 26:29).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - Manasseh was but half of the tribe of Joseph, yet it was divided int two parts. The daughters of Zelophehad now reaped the benefit of their pious zeal and prudent forecast. Those who take care in the wildernes of this world, to make sure to themselves a place in the inheritance of the saints in light, will have the comfort of it in the other world while those who neglect it now, will lose it for ever. Lord, teach u here to believe and obey, and give us an inheritance among thy saints in glory everlasting.
