Translation note

An obscure verse in Hebrew: it is not clear whose sister Maacah is (in verse 16 she is Machir’s wife), nor whose “second” Zelophehad is. The daughters of Zelophehad are in Numbers 27:1-11.

The context

14The sons of Manasseh: Asriel, whom his concubine, the Aramean, bore; she bore Machir the father of Gilead.

15 · This verse (above)

16And Maacah the wife of Machir bore a son, and she called his name Peresh; and the name of his brother was Sheresh; and his sons were Ulam and Rekem.
