Num. 36:1–13 The jubilee occurred every 50 years. During that time, land that had been sold was to return to its original owner (Lev. 25:10–28). This did not apply to land transferred through marriage. Normally when men married, there was no transfer of land; it stayed within the man’s own tribe. But if a land-owning daughter married, the land would be transferred to her husband’s family and tribe. To prevent tribal land being lost through intermarriage, Moses rules that Zelophehad’s daughters (see Num. 27:1–11) must marry men from their own tribe (36:6). In this way tribal lands will be preserved. This insistence that every one . . . shall hold on to his own inheritance can be seen as a promise that the tribes will always live in their God-given land (Gen. 17:8).
Num. 36:13 The book closes by reminding the reader that the Lord commanded its content through Moses. It is to Israel’s benefit to obey these instructions.
