Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### Special Inheritance Laws [[#Verse 01.]] Then the daughters of Zelophehad 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 forward. Now these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. [[#Verse 02.]] And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,  [[#Verse 03.]] “Our father died in the wilderness, although he was not part of the company of those that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah, but he died for his own sin, and he had no sons.  [[#Verse 04.]] Why should the name of our father be lost from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among the relatives of our father.” [[#Verse 05.]] So Moses brought their case before the Lord.  [[#Verse 06.]] The Lord said to Moses: [[#Verse 07.]] “The daughters of Zelophehad have a valid claim. You must indeed give them possession of an inheritance among their father’s relatives, and you must transfer the inheritance of their father to them.  [[#Verse 08.]] And you must tell the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you must transfer his inheritance to his daughter; [[#Verse 09.]] and if he has no daughter, then you are to give his inheritance to his brothers;  [[#Verse 10.]] and if he has no brothers, then you are to give his inheritance to his father’s brothers;  [[#Verse 11.]] and if his father has no brothers, then you are to give his inheritance to his relative nearest to him from his family, and he will possess it. This will be for the Israelites a legal requirement, as the Lord commanded Moses.’” ### Leadership Change [[#Verse 12.]] Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, and see the land I have given to the Israelites.  [[#Verse 13.]] When you have seen it, you will be gathered to your ancestors, as Aaron your brother was gathered to his ancestors.  [[#Verse 14.]] For in the wilderness of Zin when the community rebelled against me, you rebelled against my command to show me as holy before their eyes over the water—the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.” [[#Verse 15.]] Then Moses spoke to the Lord:  [[#Verse 16.]] “Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all humankind, appoint a man over the community,  [[#Verse 17.]] who will go out before them, and who will come in before them, and who will lead them out, and who will bring them in, so that the community of the Lord may not be like sheep that have no shepherd.” [[#Verse 18.]] The Lord replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;  [[#Verse 19.]] set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community, and commission him publicly.  [[#Verse 20.]] Then you must delegate some of your authority to him, so that the whole community of the Israelites will be obedient. [[#Verse 21.]] And he will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the Lord by the decision of the Urim. At his command they will go out, and at his command they will come in, he and all the Israelites with him, the whole community.” [[#Verse 22.]] So Moses did as the Lord commanded him; he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community.  [[#Verse 23.]] He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, just as the Lord commanded, by the authority of Moses. ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
