Numbers 36:13

¹³haec sunt mandata atque iudicia quae praecepit Dominus per manum Mosi ad filios Israhel in campestribus Moab super Iordanem contra Hiericho

Numbers 36 concludes the book by addressing a specific legal challenge related to inheritance and tribal land. The leaders of the clan of Gilead, from the tribe of Manasseh, approach Moses with a concern: if the daughters of Zelophehad (who inherited land in Numbers 27) marry outside their tribe, their inherited land would pass to their husbands' tribes, diminishing Manasseh's portion. Moses, by divine command, rules that these women, and all women inheriting land, must marry within their own tribal clan to preserve the tribal land allotments. This final chapter underscores the meticulous care God took in organizing Israel's inheritance and maintaining tribal integrity.
