We have reached the end of Numbers, and there are just a few more rules to clear up. First, an accidental murder is not punishable by death, but the murderer is outcast. This is such a likely event that six cities are set aside for accidental murderers. That’s a lot.

Second, since women are now able to inherit (if there are no possible male heirs), they might marry outside the tribe and lose land for the tribe. So Zelophehad’s daughters are required to marry within the tribe. They all marry their first cousins. Yuck.

Next: Deuteronomy 1-2.
