Description

As Bnei Yisroel are about to enter the Promised Land, the time to apportion the land arrives. The daughters of Tzelaphchad protest to Moshe that the portion meant for their father will be lost to their family and tribe. Indeed, they have a valid point, and Hashem teaches Moshe the laws of inheritance that are then recorded in the Torah and become known as the laws of the Daughters of Tzelaphchad. How did these women merit such an honor? Why are they considered wise and righteous? And if the land was to be apportioned by Divine inspiration, how could these women appear to challenge the process and ask for an inheritance in the land?
