Números 36:6 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 36:6

This is the thing which the Lord doth command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad
Concerning this affair relative to them; the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases the words,

``not for the generations that rise up after the division of the land, but for the daughters of Zelophehad;''

as if this order only respected them, or what might happen before the land was divided, but not after; and this is the general opinion of the Jewish writers; but it seems, that as the following law not only concerns them, but all heiresses, so all such after as well as before the division of the land, since the reason of it holds good after as before:

saying, let them marry to whom they think best;
whom they like best, who are most acceptable to them; as it was reasonable they should, and not have such forced upon them, whose persons were disagreeable to them:

only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry;
they were to marry not only such as were of the tribe of Manasseh, but of their father's family in that tribe; they could only marry into the family of the Hepherites; see ( Numbers 26:32 Numbers 26:33 ) .

Números 36:6 In-Context

4 Cuando los israelitas celebren el año del jubileo, esa heredad será incorporada a la tribu de sus esposos, y se perderá como propiedad de nuestra familia patriarcal.

5 Entonces, por mandato del SEÑOR, Moisés entregó esta ley a los israelitas:—La tribu de los descendientes de José tiene razón.

6 Respecto a las hijas de Zelofejad, el SEÑOR ordena lo siguiente: Ellas podrán casarse con quien quieran, con tal de que se casen dentro de la tribu de José.

7 Ninguna heredad en Israel podrá pasar de una tribu a otra, porque cada israelita tiene el derecho de conservar la tierra que su tribu heredó de sus antepasados.

8 Toda hija que herede tierras, en cualquiera de las tribus, deberá casarse con alguien que pertenezca a la familia patriarcal de sus antepasados. Así cada israelita podrá conservar la heredad de sus padres.
