1 Chronicles 7:15

Maachah . Of this Maachah, one among tea of the same name, nothing else is known. The Peshito Syriac makes her the mother instead of wife of Machir. The distinct mention of the marriage of a Manassite to a Benjamite woman is to be noticed. Zelophehad . The meaning of the preceding words, and the name of the second , is unintelligible. Zelophehad was son of Hephen, who was (through Gilead and Maehir) great-grandson of Manasseh ( Joshua 17:3 ). The number and names and wise appeal and success of the daughters hero spoken of, are given in Joshua 17:3-6 ; Numbers 26:33 ; Numbers 27:1-11 ; Numbers 36:5-12 .
