Context of Numbers 36:13

11Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married sons of their father's brothers. 12They married men from the clans of the descendants of Joseph's son, Manasseh. Because of that, their land remained with the tribe of their father's clan. Those are the rules that the Lord gave to the Israelites at that time. The Lord told Moses what he should say to the people. That happened when they were beside the Jordan River in Moab, on the flat ground on the other side of the river from Jericho city.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-13Verses 1-13 The daughters of Zelophehad had obtained an ordinance Numbers 28:6-11 which permitted the daughters of an Israelite dying without male issue to inherit their father‘s property.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 13Verse 13 These are the judgments the Lord commanded in the plains of Moab. Most of them related to the settlement in Canaan, into which the Israelites were now entering. Whatever new condition God, by his providence, brings us into, we must beg him to teach us the duties of it, and to enable us to do them, that we may do the work of the day in its day, the duty of a place in its place.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13commands and ordinances: These might refer to the legal instructions in the whole book (compare Leviticus 27:34). They might also refer only to the laws given on the plains of Moab (Numbers 26–36). After this, only one step remained before the Israelites entered Canaan. Moses needed to remind them of their history and their covenant responsibilities. These are the main themes of the book of Deuteronomy.Read the comment
