Numbers 27:4

27:4 Why should the name of our father be lost from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession ¹  among the relatives ²  of our father.”

Numbers 27:7

27:7 “The daughters of Zelophehad have a valid claim. ³  You must indeed ⁴  give them possession of an inheritance among their father’s relatives, and you must transfer ⁵  the inheritance of their father to them.

Numbers 30:16

30:16 These are the statutes that the Lord commanded Moses, relating to ⁶  a man and his wife, and a father and his young daughter who is still living in her father’s house.

Numbers 34:14

34:14 because the tribe of the Reubenites by their families, ⁷  the tribe of the Gadites by their families, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.

[27:4]  ¹ tn That is, the possession of land, or property, among the other families of their tribe.

[27:4]  ² tn The word is “brothers,” but this can be interpreted more loosely to relatives. So also in v. 7.

[27:7]  ³ tn Heb “[the daughters of Zelophehad] speak right” (using the participle דֹּבְרֹת [dovÿrot] with כֵּן [ken]).

[27:7]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ 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.”

[30:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “between.”

[34:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “the house of their fathers.” So also a little later in this verse.
