Haydock's commentary
And Saphan. St. Jerome seems to have taken them for women. If they were the sons of Hir, (ver. 12) Machir probably adopted them. Hebrew, "Machir took a wife from Happhim," &c. But does one woman marry two men? Syriac and Arabic, "Machir took a wife one of the sisters of Huphim and Suphim, (the great and powerful) named Maacha." (Calmet)
Protestants, "the sister of Huppim....whose sister's name was Maachah." (Haydock)
Hebrew may have this sense, with a small alteration. (Calmet)
Le Clerc thinks that the name of the woman has been lost, and the text altered.
Second. This also seems defective, as no first had been mentioned. (Calmet)
Two intervened between Machir and Salphaad, namely, Galaad and Hepher, (Numbers xxvi. 29., and xxvii. 1.; Menochius) so that Salphaad was his great-grandson. (Haydock)
