Numbers 36:9

9 nec sibi misceantur tribus sed ita maneant

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.
