Números 36:6

6 É isto que o SENHOR ordena quanto às filhas de Zelofeade: Elas poderão casar-se com quem lhes agradar, contanto que se casem dentro do clã da tribo de seu pai.

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 Quando chegar o ano do Jubileu para os israelitas, a herança delas será acrescentada à da tribo com a qual se unirem pelo casamento, e a propriedade delas será tirada da herança da tribo de nossos antepassados”.
5 Então, instruído pelo SENHOR, Moisés deu esta ordem aos israelitas: “A tribo dos descendentes de José tem razão.
6 É isto que o SENHOR ordena quanto às filhas de Zelofeade: Elas poderão casar-se com quem lhes agradar, contanto que se casem dentro do clã da tribo de seu pai.
7 Nenhuma herança em Israel poderá passar de uma tribo para outra, pois todos os israelitas manterão as terras das tribos que herdaram de seus antepassados.
8 Toda filha que herdar terras em qualquer tribo israelita se casará com alguém do clã da tribo de seu pai, para que cada israelita possua a herança dos seus antepassados.
