Numbers 27
Numbers 27:1 Then came 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: and these are the names of his daughters;
Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they
stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the
princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying,
3 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.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among
his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession
among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause
before the Lord.
6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a
possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou
shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
-
If no sons, the daughters received the land inheritance
-
Verse 8 If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his
inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
8
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die,
and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his
daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren,
then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
11
And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess
it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Get
thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto
the children of Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also
shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in
the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their
eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,
16 Let the Lord,
the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them,
and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the
congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man
in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set
him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give
him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt put some of thine
honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may
be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who
shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord: at
his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he,
and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him: and he took Joshua, and
set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the
Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
Exactly 2520 years from the exile of
Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
The first tribe to be conquered by the
Assyrians was Manasseh, in 745 B.C. Exactly
2520 years later America became a nation on
July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
