The Daughters of Zelophehad

Women of the Bible

Stand Up for What is Rightfully Yours- You Inheritance

yellow flowers Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.  The daughters of Zelophehad  And what did these women do, they speak right about what was rightfully theirs.

In Numbers, we see that the land of the children of Israel is divided by lot, The Bible says,  Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

Only problem, Zelophehad had no sons to inherit his lot.  And the daughters knowing this, went to Moses and said, Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.  Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he have no son? Give to us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father. 

  And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

You should never be afraid to plead your case for that which is lawfully yours, especially your inheritance. These daughters took their cause to Moses and Moses went before the Lord  and the Lord said that they were right, their fathers lot should be given to them. Women in the Old Testament had a right to inherit

Speak His Word Only   Isaiah 53     What Jesus did for us                                                         The just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD had laid on him the iniquity of us all.  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he open not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: a

Women of the Bible Her name is Rhoda, and it is translated, Rose. When Peter  was in prison, prayers was made for him without ceasing by the church. And the Lord sent his angel, and delivered Peter out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.  The angel led him to the iron gate that lead to the city which opened to him and he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.  And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken (or to ask who was there), named Rhoda. And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood at the gate. And they said to her, You are mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel,  But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished. Are you astonished to when you see your prayers answe
