THE DAUGHTERS OF ZELOPHEHAD ASK FOR AN INHERITANCE. (Num 27:1-11)
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not . . . in the company of . . . Korah--This declaration might be necessary because his death might have occurred about the time of that rebellion; and especially because, as the children of these conspirators were involved along with their fathers in the awful punishment, their plea appeared the more proper and forcible that their father did not die for any cause that doomed his family to lose their lives or their inheritance.
died in his own sin--that is, by the common law of mortality to which men, through sin, are subject. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| But died in his own sin - i. e., perished under the general sentence of exclusion from the land of promise passed on all the older generation, but limited to that generation alone. By virtue of the declaration in Num 14:31 the daughters of Zelophehad claim that their father's sin should not be visited upon them. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| In his own sin - For his own personal sins. It was a truth, and that believed by the Jews that death was a punishment for mens own sins. |
1 Then came [07126] the daughters [01323] of Zelophehad [06765], the son [01121] of Hepher [02660], the son [01121] of Gilead [01568], the son [01121] of Machir [04353], the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519], of the families [04940] of Manasseh [04519] the son [01121] of Joseph [03130]: and these are the names [08034] of his daughters [01323]; Mahlah [04244], Noah [05270], and Hoglah [02295], and Milcah [04435], and Tirzah [08656].
2 And they stood [05975] before [06440] Moses [04872], and before [06440] Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and before [06440] the princes [05387] and all the congregation [05712], by the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], saying [0559],
3 Our father [01] died [04191] in the wilderness [04057], and he was not in [08432] the company [05712] of them that gathered themselves together [03259] against the LORD [03068] in the company [05712] of Korah [07141]; but died [04191] in his own sin [02399], and had no sons [01121].
4 Why should the name [08034] of our father [01] be done away [01639] from among [08432] his family [04940], because he hath no son [01121]? Give [05414] unto us therefore a possession [0272] among [08432] the brethren [0251] of our father [01].
5 And Moses [04872] brought [07126] their cause [04941] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
6 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
7 The daughters [01323] of Zelophehad [06765] speak [01696] right [03651]: thou shalt surely [05414] give [05414] them a possession [0272] of an inheritance [05159] among [08432] their father's [01] brethren [0251]; and thou shalt cause the inheritance [05159] of their father [01] to pass [05674] unto them.
8 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], If a man [0376] die [04191], and have no son [01121], then ye shall cause his inheritance [05159] to pass [05674] unto his daughter [01323].
9 And if he have no daughter [01323], then ye shall give [05414] his inheritance [05159] unto his brethren [0251].
10 And if he have no brethren [0251], then ye shall give [05414] his inheritance [05159] unto his father's [01] brethren [0251].
11 And if his father [01] have no brethren [0251], then ye shall give [05414] his inheritance [05159] unto his kinsman [07607] that is next [07138] to him of his family [04940], and he shall possess [03423] it: and it shall be unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] a statute [02708] of judgment [04941], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872].
31 But your little ones [02945], which ye said [0559] should be a prey [0957], them will I bring in [0935], and they shall know [03045] the land [0776] which ye have despised [03988].
