Verse 8<\/span>. Every daughter that possesseth an inheritance<\/B><\/I>] This law affected none but heiresses<\/I>; all others were at liberty to marry into any of the other tribes. The priests and Levites, who could have no inheritance, were exempt from the operation of this law. Jehoiada had the king of Judah’s daughter to wife, 2Ch 22:11<\/span>. And another priest had for wife one of the daughters of Barzillai<\/I> the Gileadite<\/I>, Ezr 2:61<\/span>. “By reason of such marriages,” says Mr. Ainsworth, “there might be kindred between Elisabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, who was of the daughters of Aaron, and Mary the virgin, the mother of our Lord, who was of the lineage of David, and tribe of Judah;” Lu 1:5<\/span>; Lu 1:36<\/span>; Lu 3:23-31<\/span>.<\/P><\/p>\n By which clause it seems that this law was not general to forbid every woman to marry into another tribe, (as may be reasonably concluded from the practice of so many patriarchs, kings, priests, and other holy men, who have married women of other tribes, yea, sometimes of other nations, which it is not likely they would have done, if this had been a transgression of Gods law,) but restrained to heiresses, or such as were likely to be so. See 1Ch 23:22<\/span>. But if they had brethren, it is probable they were free to marry into any tribe, yet so that, if their brethren died, their punishment was, that the inheritance went from them to the next akin of their fathers tribe and family. And the principal reason why God was solicitous to preserve tribes and families unmixed was, that the tribe and family too out of which the Messiah was to come, and by which he should be known, might be evident and unquestionable. <\/P> <\/p>\n And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe if the children of Israel<\/strong>,…. For the same law which gave the daughters of Zelophehad right to their father’s inheritance, gave every other daughter in Israel a right to inherit where there were no sons,<\/p>\n Nu 27:8<\/span> and every such daughter, according to this law,<\/p>\n shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father<\/strong>; marry into her father’s tribe and family; by which it appears that such who were not heiresses might marry persons of another family, and even of another tribe:<\/p>\n that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers<\/strong>; of his father’s brethren, or of those that are near akin to him.<\/p>\n (8, 9) And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance . . . <\/strong>The particular direction which was given in the case of the daughters of Zelophehad is extended in these verses into a general and permanent law that no heiress in Israel should marry out of her fathers tribe, in order that the inheritance might not be transferred from one tribe to another, and thus, in process of time, the division of the land amongst the tribes, which was made under Divine direction, be materially changed.<\/p>\n 8<\/strong>. <\/strong> Every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance <\/strong> This does not command marriage, but only restricts a voluntary institution. The woman might decline matrimony perpetually, an act rare indeed in the Orient. In case of marriage she must marry in her own tribe.<\/p>\n man. Hebrew. ‘ish.

The inheritance of his fathers This law was not general, to forbid every woman to marry into another tribe, as may be reasonably concluded from the practice of so many patriarchs, kings, priests, and other holy men, who have married women of other tribes, yea, sometimes of other nations; but restrained to heiresses, or such as were likely to be so.
