Joshua 17:3 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 17:3

But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son
of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters
The descent of this man is particularly given, to show the truth and reality of it, upon which his daughters made their request, and that granted and now claimed:

and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah,
Milcah, and Tirzah;
by the same names, and in the same order they are called in ( Numbers 26:33 ) ( 27:1 ) ; the order is a little different in ( Numbers 36:11 ) .

2 et reliquis filiorum Manasse iuxta familias suas filiis Abiezer et filiis Elech et filiis Esrihel et filiis Sechem et filiis Epher et filiis Semida isti sunt filii Manasse filii Ioseph mares per cognationes suas

4 veneruntque in conspectu Eleazari sacerdotis et Iosue filii Nun et principum dicentes Dominus praecepit per manum Mosi ut daretur nobis possessio in medio fratrum nostrorum deditque eis iuxta imperium Domini possessionem in medio fratrum patris earum

5 et ceciderunt funiculi Manasse decem absque terra Galaad et Basan trans Iordanem
