Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah- Claiming Their Inheritance in The Land
The five daughters of Zelophehad approached Moses and pleaded their case. Their father had died without sons. They want to inherit land in the promised land or their father’s family branch will disappear. So Moses seeks counsel from the Lord and the Lord says they are right and he even changed the law to accommodate them. We learn that context changes, divine wisdom is called for. The Bible does not cover every situation we will ever encounter. Israel had Moses and the prophets, who could consult God. But what now? Yes, we have scripture and all the wisdom it offers, yet we have something even more. We have the Holy Spirit! We can pray and he will give us discernment and wisdom.
Heavenly Father, how you bless us. You see into every life and heart and wish them to prosper. You wish for no one to miss out on our inheritance through Jesus Christ. Give us wisdom to live well by your Holy Spirit and not by rules alone. Help your church be a blessing in this darkened world.
The daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They came forward and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders and the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said, “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among Korah’s followers, who banded together against the Lord, but he died for his own sin and left no sons. Why should our father’s name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s relatives.”
So Moses brought their case before the Lord, and the Lord said to him, “What Zelophehad’s daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance among their father’s relatives and give their father’s inheritance to them. ”
