“And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are married: and their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers — the problem is compounded at the Jubilee (when most property reverts to original owners): the daughters' inherited property would not return to Manasseh but would remain with the tribe of their husbands. This permanent loss creates a legal and economic imbalance.
