:“Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the descendants of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the descendants of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. Neither shall the inheritance be transferred from tribe to tribe, but every one of the tribes of Israel shall keep to himself his own inheritance.”

For this reason, possessing an inheritance, even a consecrated virgin vowed to the Lord to know no man, is pledged to be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father according to the law of Moses, and still remain a virgin consecrated to God, bound by vow to the Lord.

For this reason, possessing an inheritance, even a consecrated virgin vowed to the Lord to know no man, is pledged to be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father according to the law of Moses, and still remain a virgin consecrated to God, bound by vow to the Lord. And Mary, being vowed to the Lord by her parents when she was a child, and consecrated to God by them as a perpetual virgin to not know a man, as holy to the Lord, a vow she had not made, which her husband therefore could not make void; when the angel told her she would conceive in her womb and bear a son, for this reason Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin, I do not know man.” For she was consecrated to the Lord.  

Mary arose in those days and went from Galilee south into the hill country with haste into a city of Judah called Ain Karim just southwest of Jerusalem, and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She called out with a loud voice and said "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears the baby leaped in my womb for joy! Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

Mary said “My soul magnifies the Lord. My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior, for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed. For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name. His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him. He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty. He has given help to Israel his servant, that he might remember mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever.”
