Numbers 36:2
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.
Numbers 36:8
36:8 And every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any of the tribes of the Israelites must become the wife of a man from any family in her father’s tribe, so that every Israelite 2 may retain the inheritance of his fathers.
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 The subject is “Israelites” and the verb is plural to agree with it, but the idea is collective as the word for “man” indicates: “so that the Israelites may possess – [each] man the inheritance of his fathers.”
