36:10-12 As they had been instructed, Zelophehad’s five daughters all married cousins on their father’s side, keeping their father’s allotment within his clan. Marriage to a first cousin was acceptable in ancient Hebrew society (cp. Lev 18, 20; see also 1 Chr 23:22) as well as in other Near Eastern cultures.
