Zelophehad: Nu 26:33 36:1-12 Jos 17:3-6 1Ch 7:15 Ga 3:28 Outline of Numbers 27 Nu 27:1-11 CLAIMING THE LAND - Law of Inheritance for Daughters of Zelophehad Nu 27:12-17 SEEING THE LAND - Moses' View of the Promised Land Nu 27:18-23 CONQUERING THE LAND - Appointment of Joshua as the New Leader THE FAITH OF THE DAUGHTERS OF ZELOPHEHAD Numbers 27 begins with a new problem and ends with a new leader! This the preceding chapter helps give us the context "Now Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but only daughters; and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah." (Nu 26:33+) Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, came near (qarab); and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah - It would be easy to read over this section and miss the faith expressed by these daughters. Keep the context in mind -- Israel was still on the eastern side of the Jordan River and had not conquered any land. These women showed a faith greater than their father and their predecessors who refused to believe God's promises in Numbers 14-15! And so these 5 sisters believed the promise of God to give Israel the promised land and were willing to confront their revered leader with their request that they should receive their share when that glorious day was consummated.
