Numbers 36:8 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 36:8

And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe
if the children of Israel
For the same law which gave the daughters of Zelophehad right to their father's inheritance, gave every other daughter in Israel a right to inherit where there were no sons, ( Numbers 27:8 ) and every such daughter, according to this law,

shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father;
marry into her father's tribe and family; by which it appears that such who were not heiresses might marry persons of another family, and even of another tribe:

that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his
fathers;
of his father's brethren, or of those that are near akin to him.

Numbers 36:8 In-Context

6 Here is what ADONAI has ordered concerning the daughters of Tz'lof'chad: 'Let them be married to whomever they think best, but they must marry only into a family from their father's tribe.

7 In this way no inheritance of the people of Isra'el will move from one tribe to another; for each of the people of Isra'el is to hold on to the land for inheritance belonging to his father's tribe.

8 Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the people of Isra'el is to become the wife of someone from the family of her father's tribe, so that every one of the people of Isra'el will stay in possession of his ancestors' inheritance.

9 Thus no inheritance will move from one tribe to another, for each of the tribes of the people of Isra'el will hold on to its own inheritance."

10 The daughters of Tz'lof'chad did as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
