Parshot Matot and Masei: Numbers 30:2 - 36:13

The last little bit is a nice throwback to Pinchas. A concern is raised again about Zelophehad's daughters and the land they were allowed to inherit. What if they married outside the tribe Manasseh and this land was lost to the tribe? To settle this, G-d commanded that the daughters must marry within the tribe; in fact any daughter that inherits her father's land must marry within the tribe to keep balance.

"Chazak, chazak, v'nitchazek 

Be strong, be strong, and may we be strengthened!"

(We just finished the book of Bamidbar/Numbers! We say this phrase when we finish a book of Torah. Now that wasn't so hard now was it?)
