Numbers 36

Chapter 36 resolves a dispute concerning inheritances. If inheriting daughters were to marry outside the tribe, what happens to the land during the year of Jubilee? The issue was resolved by allowing daughters to only marry within the tribe. That kept the land where it belonged.

The book closes with a reminder that, although Moses was used by God, God is the one calling the shots, and that’s why they should obey!

Thought for the day: God has also selected people today to convey and interpret His Word. If we don’t listen, we cause them grief and our disobedience brings harm to ourselves.

Hebrews 13:17 (WEB) “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.”
