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.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 36 of Numbers. The heads of the family of Gilead raise a problem concerning the inheritance of Zelophehad’s daughters: if they marry outside their tribe, the property could pass to another tribe. God establishes that the heiresses may marry, but within their own tribe. The final chapter simultaneously protects the women’s inheritance rights and the stability of the tribal distribution of the land, closing Numbers with concern for preserving the inheritance received from God.
