Context of Numbers 36:10
8Every daughter receiving an inheritance in one of the tribes of Bnei-Yisrael should marry within the family of her father’s tribe, so that Bnei-Yisrael will each possess the inheritance of his fathers. 9No inheritance may pass from tribe to another tribe, for each tribe of Bnei-Yisrael is to keep its inheritance.” So Zelophehad’s daughters did just as Adonai commanded Moses. 11Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah—married sons of their uncles. 12They married within the families of the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their ancestral family.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-12Verses 5-12 Those who consult the oracles of God, concerning the making of their heavenly inheritance sure, shall not only be directed what to do, but their inquiries shall be graciously accepted.
