Note that Moses didn't say that only this one group of women will inherit; he gives the command for when a woman inherits land. What was done for the daughters of Zelophehad was a precedent for the future. It didn't always happen, but it was supposed to.
"These are the commands and regulations the Lord gave through Moses to the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho." Thus ends the book of Numbers. God in Numbers has again laid out the commands that were first given decades earlier to a new generation. The book takes place not long before Israel enters the promised land, but God isn't done yet. God will have Moses give the law again in what will be the book of Deuteronomy.
