John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And Machir took to wife the sister of Huppim and Shuppim, whose sister’s name was Maachah, etc.] He married into the tribe of Benjamin, a sister of the persons mentioned, (<130712>1 Chronicles 7:12) whose name was Maachah: and the name of the second was Zelophehad; the second son of Manasseh, or of his posterity mentioned; for he was not his immediate son; for he was the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, (<042701>Numbers 27:1) and Zelophehad had daughters; but no sons, the names of his daughters are given, (<042633>Numbers 26:33 27:1 36:11 <061703>Joshua 17:3).”
