1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Zelophehad
   first-born, of the tribe of Manasseh, and of the family of
   Gilead; died in the wilderness. Having left no sons, his
   daughters, concerned lest their father's name should be "done
   away from among his family," made an appeal to Moses, who, by
   divine direction, appointed it as "a statute of judgment" in
   Israel that daughters should inherit their father's portion when
   no sons were left (Num. 27:1-11). But that the possession of
   Zelophehad might not pass away in the year of jubilee from the
   tribe to which he belonged, it was ordained by Moses that his
   daughters should not marry any one out of their father's tribe;
   and this afterwards became a general law (Num. 36).
   

2. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
Zelophehad, the shade or tingling of fear
