Verse 6 is found in chapter 17 of Joshua. Manasseh receives its inheritance, and the daughters of Zelophehad are specifically mentioned as receiving territory according to the word of God transmitted through Moses. The scene shows that legislation concerning female inheritance is not a marginal detail, but part of the actual distribution of the land. Genealogy is used to establish concrete territorial rights and preserve the continuity of family inheritance within Israel.
