Numbers 36:11

HoglahMahlahMilcahNoahTirzahZelophehad

9 No inheritance may be transferred from one tribe to another, for each tribe of Israel must retain its inheritance.”

10 So the daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to cousins on their father’s side.

12 They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained within the tribe of their father’s clan.

13 These are the commandments and ordinances that the LORD gave the Israelites through Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
