      1  The daughters of Zelophehad sue for an inheritance.
     6  The law of inheritances.
    12  Moses, being told of his death, sues for a successor.
    18  Joshua is appointed to succeed him.
    
    
    VERSE 1
    - the daughters.
      In the orders for the division of the land, just given, no
      provision had been made for females, in case of failure of
      male issue.  The five daughters of Zelophehad, therefore,
      considered themselves as destitute, having neither father nor
      brother, and being themselves entirely overlooked; and they
      agreed to refer the case to Moses and the rulers, whether it
      were not equitable that they should inherit their father's
      portion.  This led to the enactment of an additional law to
      the civil code of Israel, which satisfactorily ascertained and
      amply secured the right of succession in cases of inheritance.
      This law, which is as reasonable as it is just, stands
      thus:--1.  On the demise of the father, the estate descends to
      the sons.  2.  If there be no son, the daughters succeed.  3.
      If there be no daughter, the brothers of the deceased inherit.
      4.  If there be no brethren, or paternal uncles, the estate
      goes to the grand uncles, or brothers of his father.  5.  If
      there be no grand uncles, then the nearest of kin succeeds to
      the inheritance.  Beyond this fifth degree the law does not
      extend, because there must always have been some among the
      Israelites who could be called kinsmen.
    
    - Zelophehad.

    VERSE 3
       Rosenmuller translates this verse as follows:  "Our father
      died in the wilderness, leaving no sons; nor was he among
      those who rebelled against the Lord with Korah, who died on
      account of his own sin."  Professor Dathe, however,
      understands by "his own sin," that sin which was common to all
      the Israelites, who died on account of their unbelief.

    VERSE 16 
     - the Lord.
      {Yehowah elohey haroochoth lechol basar,} "Jehovah, the God of
      the spirits of all flesh."  This address sufficiently proves,
      that this holy man believed man to be compounded of flesh and
      spirit, and that these principles are perfectly distinct.
      Either the materiality of the soul is a human fable, or, if it
      be a true doctrine, Moses did not pray under the influence of
      the Divine Spirit.  There is a similar form of expression in
      ch. 22 16:22:  "O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh;" and
      in Job 12:10, "In whose hand is the soul {nephesh} of all
      living; and the spirit {rooach} of all flesh of man."  These
      seem decisive proofs, among many others, that the Old
      Testament teaches that there is an immortal spirit in man; for
      though {rooach} sometimes denotes breath or wind, yet it
      certainly has not that signification here, nor in the other
      passages cited.
