Numbers 27:16

¹⁶טז יפקד יהוה אלהי הרוחת לכל בשר איש על העדהa

Numbers 27 presents a pivotal moment concerning inheritance rights for women in ancient Israel. The daughters of Zelophehad boldly approach Moses, arguing for their right to inherit their deceased father’s land since he had no sons. God affirms their petition, establishing a new legal precedent that ensures family lineages and land distribution continue even without male heirs. The chapter concludes with God instructing Moses to appoint Joshua as his successor, publicly commissioning him before Eleazar and the congregation.
