| Numbers 27:1 | Then *came the daughters of Salphaad, the son of Hepher,** the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasses, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Maala, and Noa, and Hegla, and Melcha, and Thersa. Numbers 26:32-33. and 36:1.; Josue 17:1. | Year of the World 2553. Salphaad, a descendant of Joseph, had departed this life in the desert, being one of those who sinned, by murmuring, at Cades-barne. See chap. 14., and 15:32. (Calmet) --- He only left these five daughters behind him; and, as many others might be under the same predicament, their case deserved the attention of the legislator, who referred it to God.
