Numbers 36:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ This is the Lord’s command to Zelophehad’s daughters: You may marry anyone you wish, as long as the person is from ·your [^La clan of your] own tribe. ⁷ In this way the ·Israelites’ land [^Linheritance of the sons/^Tchildren of Israel] will not pass from tribe to tribe, and each ·Israelite [^Lson/child of Israel] will keep the land in the tribe that belonged to his ·ancestors [fathers]. ⁸ A woman who inherits her father’s land may marry, but she must marry someone from ·her own [^La clan of her own] tribe. In this way every ·Israelite [^Lson/child of Israel] will keep the land that belonged to his ·ancestors [fathers].
