Numbers 27:1-11 ~ shall be for the people

Old Testament questions:

Why was Jesus so good to women and God of the Old Testament was not?

Numbers 27:1-11

1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

2 And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, 3 "Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin. And he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brothers."

5 Moses brought their case before the LORD. 6 And the LORD said to Moses, 7 "The daughters of Zelophehad are right. You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them. 8 And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. 9 And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it.

And it shall be for the people of Israel a statute and rule, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"

And on the same page, Moses was the workman God called Home and then Joshua was to inherit.

God gave great billing to women with Moses in Living Word of God.




This passage also applies to Mary, Mother of God. She was the parent Jesus had during His Ministry. Mary is the one Person who has rushed in to save God. Momentous.




One of the aspects of Jesus I find so beautiful. The Holy Family. Jesus has chosen Mary and Joseph. Time spent in Egypt. Jerusalem was too dangerous. Back to small Nazareth. Nazareth reports peace twice in the Gospels. The Siblings goad Jesus about showing Himself in Jerusalem. Later go with Mary to try to get Jesus home. We find in Acts 1, Mary and the Siblings have reunited. Jesus has the Victory.

Jesus allows, just like the Prodigal Son - the process of 1 Corinthians 13 - Love believes.

God has been for His People. God has supported women. Jesus has supported a very human family. We can all expect this - Thank God - for His Mercy. And His expectation of goodness. And in His expectation of Goodness - we find a path in God for each day.






How many times each day we process this:

I will fuss.

I will forgive - I understand.

I'm full - this goes in the rebuke category.

I'm compassion - I understand

I'm about change - I will rebuke.

I'm about honesty - I will communicate.

I'm diligent - I will change this in time.

I'm an adult - I will cope around this.

I'm in gratitude - for the goodness God gives me.

I'm surrounded by Love - I see blessings.

And then we get to where we process our emotions. We bolster. We accept. We prevail. We struggle. We access.

With God's Help - we ascend. We have the fight within us to go forward with Joy.

We ascend - to hope again. Finding the Grace of God carries us.





Today was a difficult day at Doctor's offices for Social Security Disability for Edward. It's difficult to strip down to the need of help when daily we work to ascend and cope. Letting all the emotions pop us and examine. To work the duties of today. Seeing the Grace of God cover and sustain, seeing His hope given. Dealing with interacting with people in a more normal time.


When we realize God is for us. We have the ability to trust God and His Grace.

Abba,

Thank You. We will live the adventure all things work together for Good.

In Jesus. For His Beloved. We thank You. Amen.
