Son of Hepher; descendant of Manasseh by Machir (Jos_17:3). Died in the wilderness without male issue. He had no share in Korah's rebellion. His five daughters at the close of the second numbering came to Moses begging for their father's inheritance (Num_26:33; Num_26:27). Their petition was granted, and subsequently it was ordained that they and females under like circumstances should marry in their own tribe, that the tribal inheritances might not be confounded (Numbers 36).

Zelo'phehad. (first-born). Son of Zepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh. Jos_17:3. (B.C. before 1450). He was, apparently, the second son of Hepher. 1Ch_7:15. Zelophehad came out of Egypt with Moses, but died in the wilderness, as did the whole of that generation. Num_14:35; Num_27:3. On his death, without male heirs, his five daughters, just after the second numbering in the wilderness, came before Moses and Eleazar to claim the inheritance of their father in the tribe of Manasseh. The claim was admitted by divine direction. Num_26:33; Num_27:1-11.

zḗ-lō?fḗ-had (צלפחד, celophḥādh, meaning unknown): Head of a Manassite family who died without male issue (Num_26:33; Num_27:1, Num_27:7; Num_36:2, Num_36:6, Num_36:10, Num_36:11; Jos_17:3; 1Ch_7:15). His daughters came to Moses and Eleazar and successfully pleaded for a possession for themselves (Num_27:1 ff). This became the occasion for a law providing that in the case of a man dying without sons, the inheritance was to pass to his daughters if he had any. A further request is made (Num_36:2 ff) by the heads of the Gileadite houses that the women who were given this right of inheritance should be compelled to marry members of their own tribe, so that the tribe may not lose them and their property. This is granted and becomes law among the Hebrews.
Gray says (ICC on Num_26:33) that the ?daughters? of Zelophehad are towns or clans.

Zelo?phehad, son of Hepher, a descendant of Joseph, who had no sons, but five daughters. These came to Moses and Eleazar when now at the edge of the Promised Land, to lay their case before them for adjudication. Their father had died in the wilderness, leaving no male child. The daughters thought themselves entitled to take their father's share of the land. Moses on this brought their cause before Jehovah, who ordered that they should receive their father's inheritance, taking occasion to establish the general rule: 'If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter,' and failing daughters, to his next of kin (Num_26:33; Num_27:1, sq. Compare Jos_17:3, sq.).

(Heb. Tselophchad', צְלָפְחָד, of uncertain etymology; Sept. Σαλπαάδ v.r. Σαλφαάδ, etc.), son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh (Joshua 17, 3). B.C. ante 1618. He was apparently the second son of his father, Hepher (1Ch_7:15); though Simon and others, following the interpretation of the rabbins, and under the impression that the etymology of his name indicates a first-born, explain the term הִשֵּׁנַי as meaning that his lot came up second. Zelophehad came out of Egypt with Moses; and all that we know of him is that he took no part in Korah's rebellion, but that he died in the wilderness, as did the whole of that generation (Num_14:35; Num_27:3). On his death without male heirs, his five daughters, just after the second numbering in the wilderness, came before Moses and Eleazar to claim the inheritance of their father in the tribe of Manasseh The claim was admitted by divine direction, and a law was promulgated, to be of general application, that if a man died without sons his inheritance should pass to his daughters (Num_26:33; Num_27:1-11); and this led to a further enactment (ch. 36), that such heiresses should not marry out of their own tribe-a regulation which the five daughters of Zelophehad complied with, being all married to sons of Manasseh, so that Zelophehad's inheritance continued in the tribe of Manasseh. The law of succession as exemplified in the case of Zelophehad is treated at length by Selden (De. Success. ch. 22:23). SEE INHERITANCE.
