Strong's Lexicon Machlah: Mahlah Original Word: מַחְלָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine Transliteration: Machlah Pronunciation: makh-LAH Phonetic Spelling: (makh-law') Definition: Machlah Meaning: Machlah is a proper noun used as a personal name, meaning "sickness" or "disease." Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלָה (chalal), which can mean "to be sick" or "to be weak." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Machlah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Machlah is used as a feminine proper name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in the context of genealogies and narratives concerning inheritance. Context: Machlah is one of the daughters of Zelophehad, a descendant of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. She is mentioned in the context of a significant legal precedent regarding inheritance rights for women. The daughters of Zelophehad, including Machlah, approached Moses and the leaders of Israel to request an inheritance in the Promised Land, as their father had died without leaving a male heir. Their plea was granted by divine command, establishing a legal provision for daughters to inherit if there were no sons. This account is found in Numbers 26:33, 27:1-11, 36:11, and Joshua 17:3. The narrative highlights themes of justice, equality, and the importance of preserving family inheritance within the tribes of Israel.
