------------------------------------------------------------
(6) In this verse the Bible uses the term MOTHERS HOUSEHOLD
    Since it is discussing hospitality, a typically female
    associated attribute, it says MOTHERS HOUSEHOLD
------------------------------------------------------------

 #  VERSE   TERM USED            TOPIC DISCUSSED
--- ------- ------------------   --------------------------------
(6) Gn24-28 Mother's household   Discuss hospitality





--------------------------------------------------------------
(7-9) In these verses the Bible uses the term FATHERS
      HOUSEHOLD. In all these verses, matters of inheritance
      and census are discussed. Hence, as Rashi, we conclude
      "Tribal status is determined by father not mother"
--------------------------------------------------------------

 #  VERSE   TERM USED            TOPIC DISCUSSED
--- ------- ------------------   --------------------------------
(7) Gn31-14 Father's household   Do we have an inheritance?
(8) Nu01-02 Father's household   Census-Tribal status
(9) Nu25-15 Father's household   Non Jewish Tribal status


NOTES:
-----
*1 Nu30-04 is an exception--it uses the term FATHERS HOUSEHOLD
while discussing the LAWS OF OATHS (nothing to do with inheritance)
But this is easily understood--only the FATHER (not the mother)
can absolve a daughter of her oath.
