Context — Zelophehad’s Daughters Marry
8Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.
9No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, for each tribe of Israel must retain its inheritance.”
10So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
11Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to cousins on their father’s side. 12They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on Numbers 36:10
Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad. They married into, the family of their father's tribe, according to the following account.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 36:10
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. Moses commanded ... according to the word of the Lord.
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 36:10
P. The chapter lays down a law that heiresses may not be married to anyone outside their own tribe. As in ch. 27, the present law is put in a concrete form. In ch. 27 it was ruled that the daughters of Zelophehad might inherit property, in order that the inheritance might not be alienated from the tribe of Manasseh. But it was realised that that law might, after all, be annulled if they were married to persons of other tribes. Here, therefore, the supplementary law is issued, forbidding them to do so.
Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 36:10
10-12. Their father’s brothers’ sons — Cousins or second cousins, since sons may signify merely descendants.
