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 This is what the LORD commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry anyone they like, as long as it is within their own ancestral tribe.
7 None of the territorial land may pass from tribe to tribe, for all the land given to each tribe must remain within the tribe to which it was first allotted.
8 The daughters throughout the tribes of Israel who are in line to inherit property must marry within their tribe, so that all the Israelites will keep their ancestral property.
9 No grant of land may pass from one tribe to another; each tribe of Israel must keep its allotted portion of land.”
10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses.
