Numbers 36
An inconvenience if heiresses should marry into another
tribe, ver. 1-4. An appointment that they should marry in their
own tribe, ver. 5-9. Zelophehad's daughters marry their cousins,
ver. 10-12. The conclusion, ver.13.
Verse 2. Our brother - Our kinsman.
Verse 6. To the family - They seem hereby to be confined not only to the
same tribe, but also to the family of their tribe, as appears from
the reason of the law, for God would have the inheritance of
families as well as tribes kept entire and unmixed.
Verse 8. The inheritance of his fathers - This law was not general to
forbid every woman to marry into another tribe, as may be
reasonably concluded from the practice of so many patriarchs,
kings, priests, and other holy men, who have married women of
other tribes, yea sometimes of other nations, but restrained to
heiresses, or such as were likely to be so. But if they had brethren,
they were free to marry into any tribe, yet so that, if their brethren
died, the inheritance went from them to the next a-kin of their
father's tribe and family. And the principal reason why God was
solicitous to preserve tribes and families unmixed was, that the
tribe and family too, out of which the Messiah was to come, and
by which he should be known, might be evident and
unquestionable.
