V.1-2 “The rest” means the other half of this tribe. They obeyed God’s original instructions by settling in the land. Each family is named, as if God wanted to show how much He appreciated their willingness to break from the rest of their tribe to be faithful to His Word.
V.3-6 Israel’s inheritance normally was only passed on to the sons in a family. But here was a family with no sons. The daughters valued what the Lord had given their father. They remind Eleazer and Joshua of what the Lord promised them through Moses (Num. 27:1-11). So in this special case the inheritance went to the girls.
V.7-13 The tribe of Mannasseh gets an area in the promised land as well as on the East side of Jordan.
V.14-18 If they wanted more, there was more to be had! And this is like us believers today, we can have as much of Christ as we want, and our lives are showing how much we want!
