Zelafehad: Perbedaan antara revisi

Para pakar linguistik berbeda pendapat mengenai arti nama Zelafehad. Menurut pembacaan [[Teks Masoret]], diduga nama itu berasal dari istilah [[Siria]] term meaning ''first rupture'', in the sense of being a first-born son.<ref name="Jewish Encyclopedia"/> Most scholars, following the [[septuagint]]'s rendering of the name as ''salpaad'', believe that the name was derived from the Hebrew term ''salpahad'', literally meaning ''shadow from terror'';<ref name="Jewish Encyclopedia">''Jewish Encyclopedia''</ref> many of these scholars interpret this as referring to the shadow created by a shelter, and so interpret the name as ''protection from terror'',<ref name="Jewish Encyclopedia"/> but others interpret it as meaning ''the bringer of terror is shadowed''.<ref>Cheyne and Black, ''[[Encyclopedia Biblica]]''</ref>

In the Biblical account, earlier regulations had specified that [[property]] was to be inherited by heirs who were male, but the daughters were the only children of their now deceased father, and so they came to the door of the ''[[Tabernacle (Judaism)|Tent of Meeting]]'' and asked [[Moses]], [[Eleazer]], the [[tribal chief]]tains, and the rest of the ''congregation'', for advice on what was to be done, as there were no obvious male heirs;<ref>{{Bibleverse||Numbers|26:1-2|}}, {{bibleverse||Num.|27:4.|}}</ref> in the [[Talmud]], opinions vary as to whether this means that the daughters petitioned all of these groups at the same time, with them gathered together, or if it means that the daughters first petitioned the ''congregation'', then the chieftains, then Eleazar, and finally petitioned Moses.<ref>[[Bava Batra]] 119b; Rabbi Eliezer supports the former, Rabbi Joshua supports the latter</ref>

The biblical text states that Moses asked [[Hashem]] to rule on the issue;<ref>{{bibleverse||Numbers|27:5|}}</ref> the Zohar argues that Moses had presented the case to Hashem, rather than deciding it himself, because Moses was modest.<ref name="Zohar 3:205b">Zohar 3:205b</ref> The biblical account continues by stating that Moses was told by Hashem that the daughters should be considered their father's heirs, and that the general case holds - if there are no sons, the daughter (or daughters) should inherit - and if there are no children at all, the inheritance should pass to the man's brothers, and if there are no brothers it should pass to the ''nearest relative in his clan''.<ref>{{bibleverse||Numbers|27:5-9|}}</ref>

Menurut [[Injil Lukas]] [[Lukas 3#Ayat 23|pasal 3 ayat 23]], [[Santo Yusuf|Yusuf]] disebut sebagai anak Eli. Catatan Talmud Yahudi menunjukkan bahwa ayah [[Maria]], ibu [[Yesus]] [[Kristus]], bernama Eli<ref>Talmud Yerushalmi, Hag. chap.2, 11a; text bahasa Ibrani di http://www.mechon-mamre.org/b/r/r2b.htm, adalah sebagai berikut: למרים ברת עלי "Maria binti Eli"</ref> Sejumlah pakar berpendapat bahwa Eli hanya mempunyai anak(-anak) perempuan, sehingga sesuai hukum Taurat ([[Bilangan 27|Kitab Bilangan pasal 27]], yaitu {{Alkitab|Bilangan 27:1-11}}), hak warisnya jatuh ke tangan anak perempuannya dan suaminya yang harus sesuku ([[Bilangan 36|Kitab Bilangan pasal 36]]), seperti anak-anak perempuan [[Zelafehad]]. Dari silsilah ini Eli adalah keturunan [[Daud]] melalui putra Daud yang bernama Nathan. Jadi, Yusuf dan Maria keduanya keturunan raja [[Daud]] dari [[suku Yehuda]]. Dengan demikian, [[Yesus]] [[Kristus]], anak mereka berdua ("menurut anggapan orang"), berhak mendapatkan hak waris dari [[suku Yehuda]] melalui [[Yakub]]:<ref>{{Alkitab|Kejadian 49:10}}</ref>
