The sons of Manasseh, i.e. grandchildren, as 1 Chronicles 7:13. For both Ashriel and Zelophehad were the grandchildren of Machir son of Manasseh, Numbers 26:29 &c.; Numbers 27:1. Whom she bare, to wit, his wife, as may be thought, because his concubine is here opposed to her. Or, whom he got; for the Hebrew word yalad is sometimes used of men’s begetting, as Genesis 5:18, &c.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 7:1-40

Machir: 1 Chronicles 2:21-Isaiah :, Genesis 50:23, Numbers 26:29-Nahum :, Numbers 27:1, Numbers 32:30-Luke... read more
