Numbers 27:6-7

27:6 The Lord said to Moses: 27:7 “The daughters of Zelophehad have a valid claim. ¹  You must indeed ²  give them possession of an inheritance among their father’s relatives, and you must transfer ³  the inheritance of their father to them.

Galatians 3:28

3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave ⁴  nor free, there is neither male nor female ⁵  – for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

[27:7]  ¹ tn Heb “[the daughters of Zelophehad] speak right” (using the participle דֹּבְרֹת [dovÿrot] with כֵּן [ken]).

[27:7]  ² tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute with the imperfect tense. The imperfect is functioning as the imperfect of instruction, and so the infinitive strengthens the force of the instruction.

[27:7]  ³ tn The verb is the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive, from the root עָבַר (’avar, “to pass over”). Here it functions as the equivalent of the imperfect of instruction: “and you shall cause to pass,” meaning, “transfer.”

[3:28]  ⁴ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 1:10.

[3:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “male and female.”
