Chapter 36 of numbers talks about the inheritance of the daughters of Zelofead and the importance of preserving inheritances within the tribes of Israel. In this chapter, the daughters of Zelofead approach Moses to ask for confirmation of his paternal inheritance, as his father had died without men. Moses consults the Lord and determines that the daughters of Zelofaade can marry who they want, as long as they get married inside their own tribe, so that the inheritance is not transferred to another tribe. Here are four verses related to the topics covered in numbers 36:
Leviticus 25:46: "You can buy them as property and pass them as inheritance to your children, as property to be kept permanently." This verse talks about property as inheritance and how children could inherit their parents' property. This is relevant to chapter 36 of numbers, which also talks about the importance of inheritance within the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel 46:16-18: "Thus saith the Lord God, If you give a property to one of your children, it will belong to Him forever. But if you give a property to a resident foreigner, the property will only be his property until the Year of Jubilee, when it should be returned to you. " This verse talks about the rules for property transfer and how it should remain within the family. This is similar to what is discussed in chapter 36 of numbers, where the daughters of Zelofeade are encouraged to marry their own tribe to maintain their inheritance within the tribe.
Deuteronomy 19:14: "Do not change the ancient milestones or invade the property of your neighbors, which your ancestors have legally legally legacy to you that the Lord, your God, is giving you to possess it." This verse talks about the importance of respecting borders and properties that were passed from generation to generation. This relates to chapter 36 of numbers, which talks about the importance of preserving inheritances within the tribes of Israel.
Proverbs 13:22: "The good man leaves inheritance to his children and children of his children, but the sinner's richness is stored for the righteous." This verse talks about the importance of leaving an inheritance for the next generation. This is relevant to chapter 36 of numbers, which also talks about the importance of inheritance and keeping it inside the tribe.
