Bible commentary

Wesley's Notes for Numbers 32:41


32:40 Machir - Not to Machir himself, who doubtless was long since dead, but the family or posterity of Machir.

32:42 Nobah - Who, though not else where named, was doubtless an eminent person of the tribe of Manasseh. 'Tis observable, that these tribes, as they were placed before the other tribes, so they were displaced before them. They were carried captive by the king of Assyria, some years before the other tribes. Such a proportion does providence frequently observe, in balancing prosperity and adversity.
