Numbers 27:6-7

Context
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.

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

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.

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.”
