Matthew Henry's Complete Bible Commentary

Numbers 36

We have in this chapter the determination of another question that arose upon the case of the daughters of Zelophehad. God had appointed that they should inherit, Numbers 27:7. Now here, I. An inconvenience is suggested, in case they should marry into any other tribe, Numbers 36:1-36:4. II. It is prevented by a divine appointment that they should marry in their own tribe and family (Numbers 36:5-36:7), and this is settled for a rule in like cases (Numbers 36:8, 36:9); and they did marry accordingly to some of their own relations (Numbers 36:10-36:12), and with this the book concludes, Numbers 36:13.
