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.
