What is the context?
The Merarite families are traced through Mahli and Mushi. Mahli’s son Eleazar dies with daughters but no sons.
The account remembers that the daughters marry their cousins, the sons of Kish. It then lists the three sons of Mushi.
This short family notice preserves women and a connection between branches within the service genealogy. It is not a declaration that every reader must marry a relative or that a household with daughters has failed.
How is this passage commonly understood?
The passage records the marriages without giving a separate account of negotiations, motives, or property arrangements. Those details should not be supplied as though they were stated. The clear connection is the continued place of these families within the Merarite record.
