Today's Favorite Verse: Numbers 27:4-7
"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.
And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
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."
This is a wonderful example of how an issue should be brought before the Lord. Zelophehad's posterity received no inheritance because he had no sons. His daughters spoke up and Moses then inquired of the Lord. Then the Lord spoke and established a new law among them regarding inheritances. We've seen this happened with other issues. Sometimes the answer is yes, and other times no, or not now. Though I am curious in this case how the daughters would have behaved if the answer was no.
