Eusebius of Caesarea, on Num 36:6
Eusebius of Caesarea · c. A.D. 260–339
Num 36:6 · Douay-Rheims
“And this is the law promulgated by the Lord touching the daughters of Salphaad: Let them marry to whom they will, only so that it be to men of their own tribe.”
On this verse:
“Now, since the genealogy of Joseph is so traced, Mary also appears virtually to have been of the same tribe as he, since, according to the law of Moses, intermarriages between different tribes were not permitted. For it was commanded to join in marriage with one of the same family and of the same people, so that the inheritance of the race might not be changed from tribe to tribe.”
