Numbers 36:1

And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead ,.... The princes, as Aben Ezra; so the Septuagint version, which was the tribe of Manasseh, whose grandson Gilead was, as follows:

the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near ; to the house of judgment, as the Targum of Jonathan, the sanhedrim or court of judicature, consisting of the following persons:

and spoke before Moses ; the Septuagint version adds, "and before Eleazar the priest", as in Numbers 27:2 .

and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel : the princes of the several tribes; or it may be rather the seventy elders.
