Num. 27:1–30:16 Chapters 27–30 address laws for the land, particularly the inheritance rules and the celebration of festivals.
Num. 27:1–11 daughters of Zelophehad. Under traditional rules, daughters did not inherit from their father. The father would provide a monetary gift for them when they were married, but his land and other possessions were divided among his sons. If he had no sons, his estate would pass to his nearest male relative. The daughters point out that in this situation the land could pass out of Zelophehad’s family and his name could be forgotten. A new rule is devised for the case of a man without sons: his daughters will inherit before his brothers or uncles (v. 8).
Num. 27:1 Noah here is a woman’s name.
Num. 27:3–4 He was not . . . in the company of Korah (see ch. 16). Perhaps those involved in Korah’s rebellion lost their right to inherit, or perhaps these daughters just wanted to make clear that their father had not been among those notorious sinners. The daughters’ request shows their faith that the Promised Land would be conquered.
Num. 27:12–23 Moses’ sin at Meribah meant he could not enter the land, so a successor had to be appointed (20:10–13).
Num. 27:12 Like Aaron, Moses climbed a mountain to die (compare 20:22–29). From it he will see the promised land (see Deuteronomy 34).
Num. 27:20–21 some of your authority. The people will obey Joshua, as they have Moses. Eleazar the high priest will aid him by seeking God’s will. The Urim and Thummim were used by the priest to make crucial decisions (see Ex. 28:30; compare note on 1 Sam. 14:41–42).
