Commentary
Commentary on Numbers 26:58
Theological / DevotionalLibnites. Thought to be connected with Libnah in southern Judah. The Libnites were descendants from Libni, the eldest son of Gershon.
Hebronites. Descended from Hebron, a son of Kohath (Ex. 6:18; Num. 3:19). It would seem natural to connect these people with the city called Hebron, near Libnah.
Mahlites. A daughter or a family of Zelophehad is named Mahlah in v. 33, but the Mahlites and Mushites were from the two sons of Merari called Mahali and Mushi (Ex. 6:19; Num. 3:20).
Korathites. See on v. 11. The Korathites are mentioned a number of times later on, in 1 Chron. 9:19 as doorkeepers, and in 2 Chron. 20:19 as choristers.
