Five Sisters Ask for Land

Name Date

Read the Story

A man named Zelophehad had no sons. He had five daughters. Their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

The sisters came to Joshua and the priest. They said God told Moses to give them land. Joshua did what God said. The sisters got land with their family.

Joseph's sons said they were many people and needed more land. Joshua told them to go up to the forest and clear land for themselves there.

Memory Verse

“They came to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the princes, saying, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.”

Joshua 17:4 (WEB)
