Numbers 36:10 In-Context

8 Every daughter who inherits land, regardless of the tribe she is in, must marry a man from within her father's tribal clan. Every Israelite is responsible for making sure the inheritance stays within the ancestral tribe.
9 No inheritance-land may be passed from tribe to tribe; each tribe of the People of Israel must hold tight to its own land."
10 Zelophehad's daughters did just as God commanded Moses.
11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, Zelophehad's daughters, all married their cousins on their father's side.
12 They married within the families of Manasseh son of Joseph and their inheritance-lands stayed in their father's family.
