Numbers 36:1
36:1 And the {a} chief fathers of the families of the children
     of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
     families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before
     Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the
     children of Israel:

     (a) It seems that the tribes contended who might marry
         these daughters to have their inheritance: and
         therefore the sons of Joseph proposed the matter to
         Moses.

Numbers 36:2
36:2 And they said, The LORD commanded {b} my lord to give the
     land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel:
     and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the
     inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

     (b) Meaning Moses.

Numbers 36:4
36:4 And when the {c} jubile of the children of Israel shall be,
     then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of
     the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their
     inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe
     of our fathers.

     (c) Signifying that at no time could it return, for in the
         Jubile all things returned to their own tribes.

Numbers 36:5
36:5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the
     word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph
     hath said {d} well.

     (d) For the tribe could not have continued, if the
         inheritance which was the maintenance of it should have
         been alienated to others.

Numbers 36:8
36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth an {e} inheritance in
     any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one
     of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children
     of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his
     fathers.

     (e) When there is no male to inherit.

Numbers 36:13
36:13 These [are] the {f} commandments and the judgments, which
      the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children
      of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.

      (f) Concerning the ceremonial and judicial laws.
