Numbers 36:7-9
36:7 In this way the inheritance of the Israelites will not be transferred 1 from tribe to tribe. But every one of the Israelites must retain the ancestral heritage.
36:8 And every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any of the tribes of the Israelites must become the wife of a man from any family in her father’s tribe, so that every Israelite 2 may retain the inheritance of his fathers.
36:9 No inheritance may pass from tribe to tribe. But every one of the tribes of the Israelites must retain its inheritance.”
1 tn Heb “turned aside.”
2 tn The subject is “Israelites” and the verb is plural to agree with it, but the idea is collective as the word for “man” indicates: “so that the Israelites may possess – [each] man the inheritance of his fathers.”
