Is a man’s affiliation with a tribe other than his own considered affiliation with a father other than his own?

Question:
Does the affiliation of some people with a specific tribe and their joining that tribe fall under the category of affiliation with a father other than their own?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. Affiliation with a tribe other than one’s own is like affiliation with a father other than one’s own, because it is affiliation with a grandfather other than one’s own, and the grandfather is a father. So if you affiliate yourself with a tribe other than your own, you have affiliated yourself with a grandfather other than your own, and this is not permissible. However, there is an issue, which is the issue of alliance. The allies who join tribes as allies, or the neighbors who are called neighbors and take the name of the tribe, there is nothing wrong with that. But it must be known and made clear that so-and-so is an ally of the sons of so-and-so, or that he is a neighbor of the sons of so-and-so and not one of them. Yes.
