However, the concept of inheritance and legal rights can be explored through Greek terms related to law and inheritance, such as κληρονομία (kleronomia - G2817).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Machlah is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically one of the daughters of Zelophehad. The name is often associated with the narrative of the daughters of Zelophehad, who successfully petitioned for the right to inherit their father's property in the absence of a male heir.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, inheritance laws typically favored male descendants. The account of Machlah and her sisters is significant because it highlights a moment where the legal rights of women were expanded. This narrative is set during the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and reflects the evolving understanding of justice and equity within the community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a daughter of Zelophehad, also a Gileadite<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Mahlah (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַחְלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine 1.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a daughter of Zelophehad</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/26-33.htm">Numbers 26:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/27-1.htm">Numbers 27:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/36-11.htm">Numbers 36:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/joshua/17-3.htm">Joshua 17:3</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μα</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">α</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">λ</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">α</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">α</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a Gileadite name</b></font> (possibly <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>masculine</b></font>) <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-18.htm">1 Chronicles 7:18</a> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μαελα</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μααλαθ</font>. <p>[<font class="hebrew2">מַחֲלֶה</font>], <font class="hebrew2">מַחֲלָה</font> see I. <font class="hebrew2">חלה</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מְחֹלָה</font>, see I. <font class="hebrew2">חול</font>.
