“And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.”
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers — the law extends beyond Zelophehad's daughters to all heiress-daughters: any woman who inherits property must marry within her paternal tribe. This ensures that all tribal inheritances are preserved across generations and that the covenantal division of the land remains perpetually intact.
