Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tselophchad, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: Tselophchad is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to an Israelite man of the tribe of Manasseh.

Context: Tselophchad is a notable figure in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the context of inheritance laws. He was a descendant of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, and lived during the time of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. Tselophchad had no sons, only five daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. His story is significant because it led to a change in the inheritance laws for the Israelites.

The daughters of Tselophchad approached Moses and the leaders of Israel to request an inheritance among their father's brothers, as their father had died without a male heir. Their plea is recorded in Numbers 27:1-11. Moses brought their case before the LORD, who affirmed their right to inherit their father's portion, thus establishing a precedent for inheritance rights for daughters in the absence of sons.

This legal decision is further referenced in Numbers 36:1-12, where the issue of marriage within the tribe is addressed to ensure that the inheritance remains within the tribe of Manasseh. The daughters of Tselophchad are also mentioned in Joshua 17:3-6, where they receive their inheritance.

Tselophchad's story highlights themes of justice, equity, and the importance of family heritage within the Israelite community. It underscores the adaptability of the Mosaic Law to address unique circumstances and the role of women in biblical narratives.
