SEV Biblia, Chapter 36:1
¶ Y llegaron los príncipes de los padres de la familia de Galaad, hijo de Maquir, hijo de Manasés, de las familias de los hijos de José; y hablaron delante de Moisés, y de los príncipes, cabezas de padres de los hijos de Israel,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead , etc.] The princes, as Aben Ezra; so the Septuagint version, which was the tribe of Manasseh, whose grandson Gilead was, as follows: the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near ; to the house of judgment, as the Targum of Jonathan, the sanhedrim or court of judicature, consisting of the following persons: and spoke before Moses ; the Septuagint version adds, “and before Eleazar the priest”, as in ( Numbers 27:2 32:2) and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel : the princes of the several tribes; or it may be rather the seventy elders.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - The heads of the tribe of Manasseh represent the evil which migh follow, if the daughters of Zelophehad should marry into any othe tribes. They sought to preserve the Divine appointment of inheritances and that contests and quarrels should not rise among those who shoul come afterwards. It is the wisdom and duty of those who have estates in the world, to settle them, and to dispose of them, so that no strif and contention may arise. (Nu 36:5-12)
