Números 36:3

3 E, se elas se casarem com os filhos das outras tribos de Israel, então a sua herança será diminuída da herança de nossos pais, e acrescentada � herança da tribo a que vierem a pertencer; assim será tirada da sorte da nossa herança.

Números 36:3 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 36:3

And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes
of the children of Israel
Which was not an unreasonable supposition, and perhaps was judged very probable and likely, if some method was not taken to prevent it; which they might conclude from the application of some young men of the other tribes unto them:

then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our
fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto
they are received;
for the inheritance given unto them would of course, the above being the case, descend to their sons, and whose fathers being of other tribes, it would be fixed there:

so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance;
which gave them some concern; for though this was no personal injury to them, nor any detriment to their families and estates, yet, as it was a lessening of their tribe, they were uneasy at it; and the rather they might be, since half their tribe was to settle on that side Jordan, where they now were: and now all this, the suit of the daughters of Zelophehad for their father's inheritance, which was granted them, the address of young men to them as heiresses, the concern of the heads of the tribe of Manasseh on this account; all this, I say, being before they entered into the land, or it was conquered by them, or divided to them by inheritance, show their strong faith and assurance that they should possess it.

Números 36:3 In-Context

1 Chegaram-se então os cabeças das casas paternas da família dos filhos de Gileade, filho de Maquir, filho de Manassés, das famílias dos filhos de José, e falaram diante de Moisés, e diante dos príncipes, cabeças das casas paternas dos filhos de Israel,

2 e disseram: O Senhor mandou a meu senhor que por sortes repartisse a terra em herança aos filhos de Israel; e meu senhor recebeu ordem do senhor de dar a herança do nosso irmão Zelofeade �s filhas deste.

3 E, se elas se casarem com os filhos das outras tribos de Israel, então a sua herança será diminuída da herança de nossos pais, e acrescentada � herança da tribo a que vierem a pertencer; assim será tirada da sorte da nossa herança.

4 Vindo também o ano do jubileu dos filhos de Israel, a herança delas será acrescentada � herança da tribo a que pertencerem; assim a sua herança será tirada da herança da tribo de nossos pais.

5 Então Moisés falou aos filhos de Israel, segundo a palavra do senhor, dizendo: A tribo dos filhos de José fala o que é justo.
