“Any daughter who possesses an inheritance from an Israelite tribe must marry someone from the clan of her ancestral tribe, so that each of the Israelites will possess the inheritance of his fathers.”
Numbers 36:8 CSB
These women are given rights in a patriarchal society which would have been unheard of. God is changing the way that His people thought and cared for the underprivileged or downtrodden. God continues to do the same today, by asking His people to care for the poor, the immigrant and the unloved.
God, help me to have compassion like You do! Allow me to think differently than what my culture would encourage as long as it is in line with Your heart!
