10So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses. 11Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to cousins on their father’s side. 12They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.
13These are the commandments and ordinances that the LORD gave the Israelites through Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
“In their case, not only did they marry within the tribe, but they were married to the sons of their father’s brothers - their cousins. This obviously kept the land inheritance within the tribe, and even within the larger family unit.” (Guzik)
“The Book of Numbers began in the wilderness (Numbers 1:1). It now finished as close to the Promised Land as you can get without actually being there.” (Guzik)
Do you do as the Lord commands?
Next we begin the Book of Deuteronomy!
Blessings
