what I remember:
The people come to Moses and ask about transference of land in the case of marriage. In particular, there was the man with seven daughters who inherited his land - who does the land belong to if they marry someone from another tribe - the husband's or the wife's? God answered by commanding that these seven in particular marry within their tribe, and that each tribe's land stays in the tribe it originated to.
key verse:
Thus no inheritance shall be transferred from one tribe to another tribe, for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall each hold to his own inheritance.
about God:
He did not want one tribe to benefit at the detriment of other tribes.
