Chumash Classes: Pinchas, Part 5

This chapter deals with the righteous daughters of Tzelophehad. There are different opinions as to whom he really was. However,general consensus is that he was the '' the gatherer of the wood on the Shabbos." His daughters were requesting that Moshe give them their father's portion in the land of Israel as their inheritance, since he had no sons to inherit. Moshe gives their case over to G-d to judge. He tells Moshe that they are correct in their request and that is the law for the future. If a man has no sons then his daughters do inherit. (Ch. 27 verses 1 - 7)
