Not only did Zelophahad's daughters value their Promised Land inheritance, the tribal group and clan valued it too. They asked Moses about it and found out what the LORD wanted them to do. He provided for them.
This is what the LORD commanded the heads of the fathers' houses of the clan of the people of Gilead the son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of the people of Joseph to do ... (see vs 1).
The daughters had to marry within their own clan and so they did. Moses commanded the people of Israel regarding this. This was the ruling overall. In this way no inheritance would be transferred from one tribe to another (see vs 9).
I like how obedient and submissive to God these hornorable people were. It's a lesson to me to learn from. It's to the Lord we can look even for marriage partners. We don't need to go online or anything. Ask Him to provide that one whom He believes is 'the best' one for you (see 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KIV).
Where He leads and guides, may we follow.

Sing, The Lord Will Provide, along with Landon Wolfe and Passion. I like the lyrics despite the music being a bit noisy.
