Commentary on Numbers 36:6

Theological / Devotional

Only to the family. Two limitations were given. Women without brothers were not to marry men of other tribes, nor men of another branch of the same tribe. These two precautions would preserve the families and the inheritances, so important in the Israelite economy.
