SEV Biblia, Chapter 36:2
y dijeron: el SEÑOR mandó a mi señor que por suerte diese la tierra a los hijos de Israel en posesión; también ha mandado el SEÑOR a mi señor, que dé la posesión de Zelofehad nuestro hermano a sus hijas;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 36:2
Verse 2. To give the inheritance of Zelophehad-unto his daughters.] See this case spoken of at large on chap. 27. Either the first eleven verses of chap. 27. should come in before this chapter, or this chapter should come in immediately after those eleven verses; they certainly both make parts of the same subject.
Here Moses determines that heiresses should marry in their own tribe, that no part of the ancient inheritance might be alienated from the original family.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And they said , etc.] One in the name of the rest: the Lord commanded my lord ; that is, Moses, whom they address in a very respectable manner, being the chief governor of the nation under God: to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel ; which command may be seen, in ( Numbers 26:53-56): and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother ; or kinsman, being of the same tribe: unto his daughters ; who sued for it, and upon Moses’s consulting the Lord about it, it was ordered they should have it, ( Numbers 27:1-11) and which these princes observed was likely to be attended with the following inconvenience.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - The heads of the tribe of Manasseh represent the evil which migh follow, if the daughters of Zelophehad should marry into any othe tribes. They sought to preserve the Divine appointment of inheritances and that contests and quarrels should not rise among those who shoul come afterwards. It is the wisdom and duty of those who have estates in the world, to settle them, and to dispose of them, so that no strif and contention may arise. (Nu 36:5-12)
