One commentator quoted the Talmud in describing these daughters as
“wise (chachamot), astute interpreters (darshanyiot), and pious (rachmanyiot)”
Ilona Rashkow, The Daughters of Zelophehad: Biblical Women’s Rights Activists (?)
You’ll see why in this presentation.
We’ll take a look at the property rights of women in the ancient near east, and why Zelophehad’s daughters were so concerned about their own situation. They pressed their case with Moses, confident God would do right by them. Later, their tribe also came to Moses with an unforeseen dilemma stemming from the solution God provided for Zelophehad’s daughters.
Their story was groundbreaking for all Israel, and their names have been recorded in the pages of scripture as a living memorial to their courage and prophetic foresight.
I Property Rights for Women
Truth: Wisdom recognizes God’s blessing and call on both men and women
II Imperiled Ancestral Name
Truth: God is gracious, loving, faithful, and just
III Pressing a Righteous Case, Numbers 27
Truth: God promulgates the worth and value of women
IV Promised Protection for Tribal Property, Numbers 36
Truth: Knowing God and knowing God’s word gives us confidence to do right
This presentation includes biblical study, scholarship, theology, and archaeology
Each video is designed to offer background scholarship on the topic, including setting, culture, original language, and archaeology, as well as a theological study.
The "Broken, Searching, Trusted, Powerful" series is a companion to the book, available on Amazon, and published by Wipf and Stock.
