Hoglah; a daughter of Zelophehad of Manasseh, whose inheritance claim established women's property rights.
A proper name meaning 'partridge,' borne by one of the five daughters of Zelophehad from the tribe of Manasseh. Hoglah and her sisters famously petitioned Moses for an inheritance in the Promised Land since their father had died without sons (Num 27:1), and their case became a legal precedent for female inheritance in Israel. She appears in the genealogical listing (Num 26:33), the initial petition, the marriage stipulation requiring marriage within the tribe (Num 36:11), and the land allotment in Joshua 17:3. Translations consistently render the name as Hoglah or Choglah.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper feminine name identifying one of the five daughters of Zelophehad of the tribe of Manasseh. Her appearances span the census list (Num 26:33), the landmark inheritance petition (Num 27:1), the marriage-within-tribe ruling (Num 36:11), and the Cisjordan allotment (Josh 17:3). The name likely means 'partridge,' as noted by BDB. The multilingual renderings show minor transliteration variation—English 'Hoglah,' French and German also offer 'Choglah'—but the name is uniformly recognized as a personal identifier in all traditions. 4×
