  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 15


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.
