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 has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: They may marry anyone they please, provided they marry within a clan of the tribe of their father.

7 No inheritance in Israel may be transferred from tribe to tribe, because each of the Israelites is to retain the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.

9 No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, for each tribe of Israel must retain its inheritance.”

10 So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
