Talmud sobre Números 10:29

HALAKHAH: ⁷⁰The different interpretations of this Halakhah are discussed in Tosefta ki-Fshutah Zeraïm pp. 823–825.: “The following bring but do not make the declaration”. Rebbi Jonah and Rebbi Yose, both in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac: The Mishnah speaks of a proselyte of the descendants of the Qenite, the relative of Moses by marriage, since the descendants of the Qenite, the relative of Moses by marriage, bring and make the declaration, as it is written (Num. 10:29): “Go with us and we shall treat you well.⁷¹In Tosephta 1:2: “Rebbi Jehudah said, all proselytes bring but do not make the declaration, except that a Qenite proselyte brings and makes the declaration.” This contradicts the opinion given here that a Qenite proselyte can make the declaration only if he is the son of a Jewish mother.
The problem is, why should the proselyte, son of a Jewish mother (Note 68), be able to make the declaration? He would not be able to declare “that the Eternal had sworn to our forefathers to give us” since the Land was distributed to males only. The daughters of Ẓelofḥad could inherit only as sole heirs of their father who was of those counted at the Exodus; the Land was never promised to the females. But since the family of Jithro were invited by Moses to join the Israelites and received part of the Land (Jud. 1:16), a Qenite can declare “that the Eternal had sworn to give us” from his father’s side and “to our forefathers’ from the mother’s. {The hypothesis that the Qenites were not considered as Israelites at the conquest is difficult to accept.}” Rebbi Ḥizqiah in the name of Rebbi Eleazar did not say so⁷²They do not disagree with the statement of R. Samuel ben Rav Isaac but with context and meaning. In the first version, only the sentence about the proselyte, son of a Jewish mother, refers to Qenites. but: Why did they say⁷³Mishnah 5. The first three are not owners, the last three are not male. “the guardians, the slave, the agent, the woman, the sexless and the hermaphrodite can bring but do not make the declaration,” is not the proselyte mentioned here⁷⁴Since the proselyte cannot say “that the Eternal had sworn to our forefathers to give us” but can make the declaration if his mother is Jewish, why cannot the persons mentioned in Mishnah 5 (with the exception of the slave) make the declaration since presumably they are children of a Jewish mother?? Rebbi Samuel ben Rav Isaac said, explain it by the proselyte mentioned here⁷⁵Mishnah 5 in its entirety only deals with Qenites. This is difficult to accept since then the Mishnah would have become meaningless with the Babylonian exile., by the descendants of the Qenite, the relative of Moses by marriage, since the descendants of the Qenite, the relative of Moses by marriage, bring and make the declaration.
