This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ...for man. After Moses had "consulted God" he reached a decision, "The Lord spoke unto Moses saying, The daughters of Zelophehad speak right; thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them." Thus far the decision in this case. No reason is assigned for it and no general principle is laid down as its foundation. It appears to have been a judgment rendered in this case because of some circumstances unknown to us--more than likely because of some special rule of inheritance which existed in this family or tribe. If we note the precision with which the names of the parties and their pedigree are given in the opening verses, we are strengthened in the view, that the decision was one which was dictated by a special custom obtaining in this family or tribe, more especially when it is noted that in the report of this case in Joshua XVII, 1-6, the following rule is stated: "because the daughters of Menasseh had an inheritance among his sons.' It seems to distinguish the tribe of Menasseh from the other tribes and limit the rule to them. This is in full harmony with the theory that this was a special case, decided according to a custom peculiar to that tribe, and that it was not until afterwards that the decision in Zelophehad's case became a general law. It is true that in the biblical text the general law is cited immediately after the decision. But, as has been said, the mere proximity of laws in the Bible is no proof of their relative chronological order. The general law of intestate succession which was based on this decision was as follows, "And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and have no son then ye shall...
