006 – Have you ever had to take a stand to get the justice you deserved?

There's a wonderful story in the Bible about five sisters who made a courageous appeal for justice.

When the Children of Israel arrived at the Promised Land of Canaan after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, the elders were deciding how to divide the land among the 12 Tribes of Israel.

Zelophehad, who had died in the wilderness, had five daughters and no sons. But there was no provision for families who had no sons.

It looked like his daughters might not receive their father's portion of land

In this episode, you'll hear how these five women boldly made a claim for their rightful inheritance. We can all learn from their example:

  • They spoke up for themselves
  • They went together
  • They went to the top authority
  • They presented a logical and reasonable plan that appealed to a higher sense of justice
