They could intermarry except when daughters were their father's only heirs; in such cases, the daughters had to marry within their own tribe to keep their inherited land within the tribe. See the story of Zelophehad's daughters in Numbers 36. Other than that, marriage between tribes was permitted. For example, King David, of the tribe of Judah, married Michal, of the tribe of Benjamin.
