Numbers 27 · Grade 4

A Fair Answer and a Faithful Leader

Name Date

Read and Think

Zelophehad's five daughters faced a problem. Land passed through sons, and their father had none. They came respectfully before Moses, Eleazar, the leaders, and the congregation. They pointed out that their father was not part of Korah's rebellion, and they asked for his share.

Moses did not decide on his own. He brought their case to God. God said they spoke right and gave a law to protect families with daughters. These women believed God's promise of land so strongly that they asked for their part of it before Israel had even crossed the Jordan.

God then told Moses he would see the land but not enter it. Moses did not argue for himself. He prayed for the people and asked God to give them a shepherd. God chose Joshua, and Moses publicly passed on his authority.
