And so, this is the law which has been promulgated by the Lord about the daughters of Zelophehad: Let them marry whomever they may wish, but only among the men of their own tribe,
lest the possession of the sons of Israel become commingled, from tribe to tribe. For all men shall take wives from their own tribe and kinship;
and all women shall take husbands from their same tribe, so that the inheritance may remain within the families,
and so that the tribes may not be mingled together, but may remain such as they were separated by the Lord.”
And the daughters of Zelophehad acted according to what was ordered.
