Rev. Rachel Rhodes - Numbers 27:1-11

Women. Daughters. Mothers. Sisters. You have always been part of God's plan. They came forward, Not in rebellion, but in faith. Not accusing, but trusting in the justice of God and of Moses. The daughters of Zelophehad stepped up and took up space, they were not expected to, but spoke anyway. Standing before Moses, the leaders, and the entire congregation, believing that God's inheritance for men was theirs too. Their courage moved law and culture into alignment with God's heart. This Sunday, we return to that sacred moment .A conversation about voice, legacy, and the God who listens when His daughters speak.

Daughters of Zelophehad prepare the way for the Messiah. The rest of the tribes get their allocation and Jerusalem goes to Benjamin, but they can't remove the Jebusites. Joshua 17:3-6,18:1-28;19:1-51. Numbers 27:1-11 #everydaychristians

Modern objections to the law of Moses (rooted in perceived racism, sexism, and endorsement of slavery) stem from misreading the laws out of their historical and theological context. The command to destroy the Canaanites was not racially motivated but a divine judgment against deeply entrenched idolatry and abominable religious practices, serving as a type of final judgment rather than a model for contemporary warfare. Regarding gender-related laws, the sermon emphasizes that distinctions in ritual purity, inheritance, and marital authority reflect God's design for ordered society and protection of vulnerable women, with examples like the daughters of Zelophehad and the adultery ordeal illustrating how the Law elevated women's rights compared to surrounding cultures. On slavery, while permitted within the ancient economy, the Law regulated it rigorously—prohibiting kidnapping, ensuring humane treatment, guaranteeing release in the Jubilee year, and protecting female slaves—demonstrating God's concern for justice and dignity even within flawed systems. All Scripture is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness; the Law's enduring value lies in revealing God's holiness, justice, and redemptive wisdom when interpreted faithfully within its own context.

Pastor Asheesh Lal

Introduction: As with the fictional milkman Tevye, from the village of Anatevka*, God chose to bless Zelophehad not with sons— but instead, with daughters—five of them!
 Unlike Caleb and Joshua, but like all other men "twenty years old and upward" (Numbers 14 and Numbers 32:11), Zelophehad died in the wilderness. 
Joshua, in the firm belief that he was following God's direction, determined to divide his nation's new lands among its men.
 And in ancient Israel's patriarchal society, were these orphaned women to receive no portions of the promised land? And if so, were they to "wait, meekly wait and murmur not?" 
No, I guess ...

“No matter where you are, what you’re going through; use what you have and make the most of it,” said the young woman in a TV interview. Her words prompted me to listen carefully to the full story. I learned that she was one of six sisters working toward nursing degrees. They were once homeless and struggling. Yet they worked together to reach their common goal. And at the time the story aired, all six sisters were completing the nursing program at a local university. Numbers 27 tells the story of another group of sisters who worked together and supported each other. The five daughters of Zelophehad challenged a law about inheritance. They gathered together and stood before Moses to plead their case, saying, “Our father died . . . for his own sin and left no sons. . . . Give us property among our father’s relatives” (vv. 3-4). God answered with this revolutionary statement: “What Zelophehad’s daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance” (v. 7). The five sisters came together and sought God’s mercy as they stood before Moses. And God provided what they needed as they banded together before Him. Working together isn’t always easy as believers in Jesus. But as we seek God’s wisdom and direction with humility, we’ll find He can help us serve well together in Christ.

Trusting God with our time and serving others is more important than ever. In a city where everything moves fast and uncertainty is everywhere, Psalm 31:14-15 reminds us that each moment is in God's hands. Let's choose a rhythm of service—loving our neighbours, uplifting friends, and bringing hope even when life gets tough. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference anywhere.

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. “Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter. If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers. If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father's brothers. If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.'”

The thorns in Luke press and threaten. They are the self-referential swarm posing as a flock: the so-called “community” that gathers to its own voice, circling death, mistaking its stench for sweetness, even as it strangles the one bearing the seed.These are the thorns.But the roots are of another kind. They spring up from the seed itself. A daughter of Israel, fruit of the Master's vine, afflicted for twelve years, who cannot live apart from him. She is not self-referential. She does not reach out to harm, nor to press her point, nor to insist upon herself. Though she is a daughter, she does not presume the right to cross the boundary set by what is sacred. She does not assume she is equal, much less above.The threat that governs this boundary is the same one given to the priest in the wilderness:“The outsider who draws near shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:10, 38; 17:13).It is the earth of creation itself under his Command. Life and death hinge on reference to him, which becomes submission. Absent reference, submission collapses into the “crowd of thorns”—the ʿedah swarming carrion, the lynch mob, the beloved neo-pagan “community.” The priest stands at the edge of that body: assigned to draw near, yet living under the same threat that borders the sanctuary. For proximity to what is holy is not possession of it. To approach on one's own terms is to perish; to be drawn near in obedience is to live.Pressure exposes the heart of this law. In Numbers, Balaam's donkey pressed his foot against the wall because she saw what he could not. The pressure revealed the blindness of the man and the sight of the donkey. In Luke, the crowd presses upon Jesus, but he perceives what they cannot: the deliberate touch of the one who steps forward in faith. The same pressure that blinds the self-referential reveals the one who truly sees.The thorns in Luke do not understand this law. They confuse nearness with ownership and approach with entitlement. Like the outsider who encroaches upon the altar, they rush forward without Command: pressing, consuming, swarming as if circling carrion. Their nearness is self-initiated; therefore, they take life.But the daughter, like the biblical root sprung from the seed of the Sower, is drawn near by the Command. She approaches not to take but to receive. Unlike the thorns, she does not presume to cross the boundary by “right.” She draws near as an offering, not as an invader.Now she stands in the center, and he is her circumference: her shield in the time of strife.Hear, O daughter of Israel: draw near and see.Do not be afraid.The Lord is your Shepherd.This week, I discuss Luke 8:43-45.8:43 And a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, came [προσελθοῦσα / ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet)] up behind him and touched [ἥψατο / ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet)] the fringe of his cloak, and immediately her discharge of blood stopped. 45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched [ἁψάμενός / ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet)] me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing [ἀποθλίβουσιν / ל-ח-ץ (lamed-ḥet-ṣade)] in on you.”ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet) / ق-ر-ب (qāf-rāʾ-bāʾ )ἅπτω (hapto)“So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons that they may keep their priesthood, but the outsider who comes near [הקרב (ha-qareb)] shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:10)“But those who were to camp before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrise, were Moses and Aaron and his sons, performing the duties of the sanctuary for the obligation of the sons of Israel; but the outsider who comes near [הקרב (ha-qareb)] shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:38)“Everyone who comes near [הקרב (ha-qareb)], who comes near [הקרב (ha-qareb)] to the tabernacle of the Lord, must die. Are we to perish completely?” (Numbers 17:13)In Numbers 3:10, 3:38, and 17:13, the Hebrew term הקרב (ha-qareb), from the root ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet), “to draw near, approach”, defines the law of approach that governs creation. The warning that “the outsider who draws near shall be put to death” does not protect tribe, identity, or privilege; it names the biblical principle of the open field itself.The sanctuary, like God's field, is an open expanse, not an enclosure. Yet, his Command governs its openness. Life exists only by reference to his instruction. His Command orders the heavens and the earth.The priest stands at the edge of God's field, where hearing and obedience hold the ground together. To cross without hearing is to move without reference, to “gather” for God's judgment; to press, as the thorns do, devouring what cannot be possessed. The danger is not in being outside, but in stepping forward on one's own terms, mistaking freedom for ownership. Even the appointed priest lives under this sentence. Closeness is not possession. The clearest lexical example of this in Luke is Judas:“While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached [ἤγγισεν engisen / ק-ר-ב] Jesus to kiss him.” (22:47)Judas embodies unauthorized closeness, the New Testament fulfillment of הקרב (ha-qareb) in Numbers: the one who draws near and dies. Luke 22:47 is the clearest example of a self-referential disciple.The tabernacle, like the open field, is the earth of creation under his Command: its boundaries invisible yet absolute, its center defined by hearing. To be drawn near by instruction is to live within the Lord's circumference; to come near unbidden is to dissolve into dust. Life and death hinge upon reference within the open field of his Command.προσέρχομαι (proserchomai)“Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, came near [ותקרבנה (wattiqrabnah)]; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.” (Numbers 27:1)Here, ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet) indicates a rare instance of righteous petition. In Numbers, the daughters of Zelophehad step forward to the entrance of the tent: not to make a claim, but to submit. This reflects the function of the root itself, in which the one who draws near becomes interfunctional with the offering. Their nearness stands in sharp contrast to the ʿedah of Korah, who also “came near” (yiqrebu) and were swallowed by the earth. Where the rebellious qareb ends in death, the obedient qareb bears fruit: law and inheritance take root and blossom through submission. Their approach reveals the womb of nearness, rightly ordered by the Command—an approach that gives life rather than takes it.

Faith That Speaks Up: The Courage to Change Generations What happens when five sisters decide to challenge an entire system? In this episode, we dive into the remarkable story of Zelophehad's daughters from Numbers 27—five women who faced an impossible situation in ancient Israel's male-dominated culture and chose to speak up rather than stay silent. Their father had died, leaving them with no inheritance and no future. The law was clear: women didn't get property. But these sisters did something extraordinary—they marched right up to Moses and all the leaders of Israel and made their case. What happened next didn't just change their lives; it rewrote the inheritance laws for every generation that followed. In this episode: Why planning for every contingency can become a procrastination trap The difference between praying about something and taking faithful action How to approach God first before making major decisions Why your courage today might be the key that unlocks doors for people you'll never meet The generational impact of one moment of faithful boldness Key Scripture: Numbers 27:1-11 This isn't just an ancient story—it's a blueprint for anyone who's ever felt stuck in an unfair system, anyone who's wondered if their voice really matters, or anyone who's been afraid to speak up when they know something needs to change. Sometimes faith means praying quietly. Other times, it means speaking up courageously. The question is: What situation in your life is calling for the courage to stand up and say something different needs to be done? Pastor Stephen Mizell Sunday, September 7th, 2025 visitopendoor.com

EVERYTHING starts with BELIEVING. The FIRST generation DIES because of their FAITHLESSNESS. The NEXT generation LIVES because of their FAITHFULNESS. Rev. Dr. Reed Lessing: “Zelophehad's daughters exhibit humility and faithfulness. They're prompted not by selfish desires but by the desire to do what's good for families, tribes, and the nation.” The daughters of Zelophehad show […]

SUNDAY'S GUEST PASTOR Rev. Gabriel Lopez Co-Pastor of Iglesia Cristiana del Este de Whittier Gabriel is an immigrant from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. He was brought to the U.S. at the age of 7. His parents planted a church in Huntington Park, California in the early 90's and the church is now in East Whittier, Ca. His experience as an immigrant and as a pastor's kid has shaped his passion for ministry for the Latino/x/e context (immigrant, first- and second-generation Latino church). These experiences have made him a Puente-- a bridge -- between multiple generations and as someone who thirsts and hungers for justice for the most vulnerable. Gabriel is a graduate of the Claremont School of Theology, M.DIV, and is an ordained minister with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He is married to Rev. Siobhan Lopez and they have a 7-year-old daughter, Metztli. He is a fan of Star Wars, sneakers, Rock en Español, and is a gamer.

In these chapters we see two different kinds of people: one type of person takes God at his word and aims to fully possess all that God has promised. The other type sees all the reasons it won't work, all the reasons to be afraid, all the reasons to feel sorry for themselves. As we compare these examples, we are to hold a mirror up in front of ourselves and ask which type of person we most resemble.Sermon Outline:I. We Must Take Hold of God's Promises by FaithII. We Must Not Forfeit God's Promises Through Fear or CompromiseSermon Discussion Questions:1. In what ways might we, as Christians, fail to “claim” the spiritual inheritance that is ours in Christ? What keeps us from living in the fullness of God's promises?2. Caleb, Othniel, Achsah, and the daughters of Zelophehad demonstrated faithful boldness. How do their stories challenge the way you approach prayer, obedience, or decision-making today?3. What forms of fear, compromise, or self-pity do you see most commonly hindering Christians from whole-hearted discipleship today?4. How does remembering God's faithfulness in the past strengthen our faith for present challenges? What are some practical ways we can cultivate this kind of biblical memory in our daily walk with God?5. If you were to take inventory of your own walk with Christ, where do you see faithful boldness at work, and where do you see tendencies toward half-heartedness? What steps could you take this week to walk more fully in God's promises?

Passage: 5 And Moses commanded the people of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the people of Joseph is right. 6 This is what the Lord commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Let them marry whom they think best, only they shall marry within the clan of the tribe of their father. 7 The inheritance of the people of Israel shall not be transferred from one tribe to another, for every one of the people of Israel shall hold on to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses, 11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to sons of their father's brothers.

Drawing from Numbers 27 and the courageous protest of the daughters of Zelophehad, he reexamines how the Bible — and the church — have historically erased the feminine from the divine.From the silenced wisdom of women to the gendered erasure of terms like El Shaddai, Ruach, and Shekinah, Pastor Dan exposes how empire and control distorted the image of God into a one-dimensional male authority. With historical insight, scriptural depth, and honest repentance, he invites listeners to rediscover a God who nurtures, comforts, and empowers — not just as a Father, but as Mother too.Whether you're a mother by birth, by spirit, or simply someone who's ever felt unseen in church spaces, this episode is a clarion call to speak, to stand, and to reclaim your place in the sacred story.God didn't rebuke the daughters of Z — God affirmed them.

Numbers 27Among the final duties of Moses was dealing with a family anomaly and the appointmentand preparation of Joshua to assume his role. This chapter addresses these two things.V.1-11 – In the orders for the division of the land, just given (Num. 26), no provision hadbeen made for females, in case of failure of male issue. The five daughters of Zelophehad,therefore, considered themselves as destitute, having neither father nor brother, and feelingthemselves entirely overlooked agreed to refer the case to Moses and the rulers, whether itwere not equitable that they should inherit their father's portion. This led to the enactment ofan additional law to the civil code of Israel, which satisfactorily ascertained and amply secured the right of succession in cases of inheritance. This law, which is as reasonable as it is just, stands thus:1. On the demise of the father, the estate descends to the sons.2. If there be no son, the daughters succeed.3. If there be no daughter, the brothers of the deceased inherit.4. If there be no brethren, or paternal uncles, the estate goes to the grand uncles, orbrothers of his father.5. If there be no grand uncles, then the nearest of kin succeeds to the inheritance.The daughters of Zelophehad appear again in Num. 36:1-12.V.12-23 – Moses was allowed one view of the land promised to Abraham before his death.This raised the issue of who would replace him as leader of the nation. His question isanswered by Yahweh in the appointment of Joshua.

Numbers 36 (KJV) 1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: 2 And they said, The Lord commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. 3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. 6 This is the thing which the Lord doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry. 7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. 9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance. 10 Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons: 12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where your host, Hunter, guides us through the scripture, making space for divine insights and personal reflections. Today, we kick off with a heartfelt message from Alex, a long-time listener from Rotenfelds, Germany. Alex shares his spiritual journey, highlighting the transformative power of God's love—a theme that resonates throughout today's readings. We dive into the book of Joshua and the New Testament, where Hunter illuminates passages about land inheritance, identity, and the profound gifts God offers to His children. Whether you're tuning in from a bustling city or a quiet town, join us as we explore these timeless truths and engage in a moment of prayerful reflection. Remember, as Hunter always reminds us, you are loved. Let's jump right in. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Like many in our world, I grew up in a family with divorce. And there were times in my childhood when I was visiting my father where I didn't really feel at home. The home, its rooms, the yard, the toys, all of it really didn't feel like it was mine. It felt like they belong to someone else, to my step siblings. I felt displaced. I was an interloper. The point of this is not to blame any particular person for this. Sometimes these insecurities are just there. So for whatever reason, I failed to see myself for what I was, for who I was as the son of my father. And through the years, I've struggled with a diminished view of myself. I failed to fully understand my identity and hear the words of embrace and permission that are really offered to me by God. Words like the ones spoken by the tribe of Manasseh in today's reading. They were growing and they needed more land, and so they ask. The answer they get from Joshua when they ask was, take it. Take all you need. I marvel at things like this. I've often thought that to have more or to ask for more, well, that's for people for whom it was meant to be. People who are more deserving, more together, smarter, less broken than me. But Joshua doesn't say anything like that. To these people, he simply says, do you need more? Take all you need. We see the same kind of boldness from the five daughters of Zelophehad. I wonder whether these ladies had been taught by their father and mother to know how worthy and valuable they were. Even when the culture at that time would have said otherwise, somehow, they knew that they were worthy of their father's inheritance, and so they were bold enough to ask. They boldly come to Joshua and say, the Lord commanded Moses to give us a grant of land along with the men of our tribe. In other words, this is ours, and we're here to take it. I marvel at this courage and the clarity to see and to know who they really were. The same can be true for us, for all of us today. Because we have a good father who is making it clear how valuable you are and that you are worthy of his inheritance, not because you've lived up to some standard or you've been a good child, but because of who you are. You're family. You're his child, and he is good. We can have clarity and boldness to see and to take what is ours in Christ. Let these five daughters of Zelophehad speak to you today, and then reach out and take what is yours. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, for my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be yours, and may it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we're on a journey through the scriptures together. It's February 28th, 2025, and today marks day 59 of our biblical exploration. I'm your host, Hunter, your brother in faith, guiding you through today's readings from the Book of Numbers, chapters 24 through 27, and First Corinthians chapter 13. We'll witness Balaam's powerful blessings over Israel, an intricate census of the tribes, the petition of Zelophehad's daughters, and the transitioning of leadership to Joshua. We're also reflecting on love's profound nature, as described in First Corinthians. Through these readings, we grapple with life's puzzling reflections and embrace the ever-present peace of Christ in our lives. Join me as we dive into prayerful meditations and express gratitude for the supporters who make this podcast possible. Let's embark on this spiritual journey together and discover the way of love that can truly transform our world and our hearts. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We see things as a puzzling reflection, that's what Paul says here in Corinthians. And it becomes pretty obvious as we read through passages in the Old Testament, like today's reading in Numbers. The same is true in our own lives. We can look back over the number of our days, and it can seem like a puzzling reflection. We can struggle to know what it all means. But as we live our lives in the reality of Christ's embrace for us and the world, we can begin to experience greater peace. Clarity and certainty in this life are not promised, but God's peace is promised. And the promise that all will be well in the end, when Christ is all and in all. But now, in the meantime, to discover his way of love, to value faith, hope, and love above all things. These are the greatest things. Beyond clarity today is Christ. Christ is present right now with you through the puzzling reflections. He's come to give you his peace. He's come to encourage and strengthen you now. So let's keep our eyes fixed on him until all things become clear. Let's learn his way of love and offer that to this world. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul, and that's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity.

Why are the daughters of Zelophehad significant? What do they teach us about God's heart/character? In today's episode, Emma Dotter is joined by faithful Watermark college student Sam Curtis as they discuss God's response to the financial insecurity of Zelophehad's daughters and His kindness in protecting them.   Additional Scripture Referenced: Hebrews 3:3 – “For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.” Hebrews 7:25 – “Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 4:15-16 – “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”  Interested in Watermark's College Ministry?

The leaders of the tribe of Manasseh come to Moses with a follow-up question regarding the inheritance for the daughters of Zelophehad. What happens if these daughters marry outside the tribe of Manasseh? Will Manasseh's inheritance, a gift from the LORD, be taken away from them? The LORD answers this faithful question graciously; He delights when His children ask Him to help them apply His Word. He commands female heirs to marry inside their tribes, so that the inheritance that He has given to each tribe remains intact. The daughters of Zelophehad do so in faith and obedience. This text points us toward the inheritance that is ours in Christ, which the LORD will preserve for us.  Rev. Matt Wietfeldt, Assistant Vice President of Admissions and Director of the Christ Academy Program at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Numbers 36:1-13.  "Wilderness Wanderings” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Numbers. After the LORD delivers His people from slavery in Egypt, He leads them toward the Promised Land. Although the first generation of Israelites proves faithless, the LORD remains faithful to His people and brings a new generation of Israelites to the plains of Moab. This strengthens us to listen to God's promises today and stay faithful to Him as He guides us toward resurrection life.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

The new generation of Israelites who will enter the Promised Land begins to show itself faithful to the LORD's Word. The daughters of Zelophehad know what the LORD has promised concerning the land as the family's inheritance, and so they approach Moses in faith with a question about what will happen in their family, since their father has no sons. Moses takes the question to the LORD, and the LORD responds graciously by providing for a family's inheritance to be passed down through the daughters. Knowing that Moses is soon to die, the LORD provides Joshua as the next leader for His people. Moses' prayer that the LORD would give Israel a faithful shepherd is finally answered in the greater Joshua, our Lord Jesus Christ.  Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Numbers 27:1-23.  "Wilderness Wanderings” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Numbers.
