[Avodah] bnos tzlafchad

[saul newman via Avodah]

someone  asked  me  why all of  a  sudden after 40 yr  they were  swept up
to be married.  why all of a sudden, he asked rhetorically---and contended
that , without a nadden they were not desirable. the sudden promise of land
made them desirable.  it lends the question why they brought it up in year
40 and  not in years 2-40.  obviously there was no land to be distributed
in that time, but still.

i joked that they were previously not desirable because their father wasn't
shomer shabbos , and in light with his answer,  kessef metahair
mamzeirim...  but i am sure the meforshim have other approaches...

thoughts?
