Numbers 36:2-3

36:2 They said, “The Lord commanded my lord to give 1  the land as an inheritance by lot to the Israelites; and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters. 36:3 Now if they should be married to one of the men 2  from another Israelite tribe, their inheritance would be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry. 3  As a result, it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

1 tn The infinitive construct “to give” serves here as the complement or object of the verb, answering what the Lord had commanded Moses.

2 tn “Men” is understood; it says “to one from the sons of the tribes of the Israelites for a wife,” or if he has her for a wife.

3 tn Heb “which they will be to them,” meaning, to those who have them, i.e., the marriages.
