Números 27:9 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 27:9

And if he have no daughter
Dies without any issue:

then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren;
and the children descending from them; that is, if his father was dead; otherwise, if he was living, he was to be preferred to them, according to the Jewish writers; though, according to our law, no estate in fee simple ascends lineally, or goes from a son, who has made a purchase of it, to a father: in the Misnah it is said ^F24, the order of inheritances is thus,

``if a man dies and has no son, then they cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter; a son is before a daughter, and all that descend from the son are before the daughter; the daughter is before the brethren (of her father), and those that descend from the daughter are before the brethren; the brethren (of a man) are before his father's brethren (or his uncles); and they that descend from his brethren are before his father's brethren: this is the general rule, everyone that is before in the inheritance, those that descend from him are before others, and a father is before all that descend from him.''

Números 27:9 In-Context

7 “As filhas de Zelofeade têm razão. Você lhes dará propriedade como herança entre os parentes do pai delas e lhes passará a herança do pai.

8 “Diga aos israelitas: Se um homem morrer e não deixar filho, transfiram a sua herança para a sua filha.

9 Se ele não tiver filha, deem a sua herança aos irmãos dele.

10 Se não tiver irmãos, deem-na aos irmãos de seu pai.

11 Se ainda seu pai não tiver irmãos, deem a herança ao parente mais próximo em seu clã”. Esta será uma exigência legal para os israelitas, como o SENHOR ordenou a Moisés.
