Numbers 36:11 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 36:11

For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah
The names of the daughters of Zelophehad, and the same as in ( Numbers 26:33 ) ( 27:1 ) , only the order a little varied, Tirzah and Noah here changing places; there they are according to their birth, here they are according to their marriage, as Aben Ezra thinks; though Jarchi is of opinion, that being thus differently placed shows that they were equal to one another, and one was not preferred to the other:

these were married unto their father's brothers' sons;
so that they were first cousins.

Numbers 36:11 In-Context

9 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Yisra'el shall cleave everyone to his own inheritance.

10 Even as the LORD commanded Moshe, so did the daughters of Tzelohchad:

11 for Machlah, Tirtzah, and Hoglah, and Milkah, and Noach, the daughters of Tzelohchad, were married to their father's brothers' sons.

12 They were married into the families of the sons of Menashsheh the son of Yosef; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

13 These are the mitzvot and the ordinances which the LORD commanded by Moshe to the children of Yisra'el in the plains of Mo'av by the Yarden at Yericho.
