The Lord commanded . To one division of the tribe of Manasseh , a portion had been assigned eastward of Jordan; but Zelophehad was of that division , to which an inheritance was afterwards allotted west of Jordan; yet , expecting the promised land , the elders of the Manassites now propose a difficulty , upon the adjudged case of Zelophehad's daughters . Numbers 27 . 1-11. If the females should inherit , in defect of male issue , and should intermarry with other tribes they would diminish the interest , and weaken the influence of their own tribes , and give occasion to future confusion , and perhaps contention. The Manassites therefore referred the case to Moses; and he , by the authority of God , annexed a clause , which would effectually keep the tribes and inheritances distinct , as long as it was observed. Heiresses were not allowed to marry out of their own tribe , though within those bounds they might consult their own inclinations.
