Numbers 36:9 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 36:9

Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another,
&c.] Which was one end of the year of jubilee, but that did not sufficiently secure it without this law, as this case shows:

but everyone of the tribes of Israel shall keep himself to his own
inheritance;
the chief view of which was, that it might clearly appear of what tribe and family the Messiah sprang when he came.

Numbers 36:9 In-Context

7 The property of every Israelite will remain attached to his tribe.

8 Every woman who inherits property in an Israelite tribe must marry a man belonging to that tribe. In this way all Israelites will inherit the property of their ancestors,

9 and the property will not pass from one tribe to another. Each tribe will continue to possess its own property."

10 So Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, did as the Lord had commanded Moses, and they married their cousins.
