Commentary on Deuteronomy 4:49

HENRY_FULL · Deuteronomy 4:49
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, ch. xxvii. 7 . Now here, I. An inconvenience is suggested, in case they should marry into any other tribe, ver. 1-4 . II. It is prevented by a divine appointment that they should marry in their own tribe and family ( ver. 5-7 ), and this is settled for a rule in like cases ( ver. 8, 9 ); and they did marry accordingly to some of their own relations ( ver. 10-12 ), and with this the book concludes, ver. 13 . The Law of Inheritance. ( b. c. 1452.)
