Here the question of Zelophehad's daughters comes up again, further to chapter 27. The question raised now was that if they married outside their tribe then eventually Zelophehad's name and inheritance would be lost. God agreed with this and said that the solution would be for the daughters only to marry within their tribe, so the women married their cousins and the problem was solved. It was from this decreed as a general law that no inheritance must pass from tribe to tribe.
