Numbers 36

Leaders of the Gilead clan from Manasseh approach Moshe, citing YHWH's command to grant Zelophehad's daughters their inheritance, but warn that inter-tribal marriage would transfer the land to another tribe, diminishing Manasseh's portion, especially at Jubilee.[1][2][3] Moshe, instructed by YHWH, rules that every daughter inheriting land must marry within her father's tribe to preserve tribal inheritances; Zelophehad's daughters comply, marrying their uncle's sons.[1][2][5]
