One day a petition was presented by the daughters of Zelophehad—Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Their father, Zelophehad, was a descendant of Hepher son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, son of Joseph. These women stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the tribal leaders, and the entire community at the entrance of the Tabernacle. “Our father died in the wilderness,” they said. “He was not among Korah’s followers, who rebelled against the LORD; he died because of his own sin. But he had no sons. Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan just because he had no sons? Give us property along with the rest of our relatives.” So Moses brought their case before the LORD. And the LORD replied to Moses, “The claim of the daughters of Zelophehad is legitimate. You must give them a grant of land along with their father’s relatives. Assign them the property that would have been given to their father. “And give the following instructions to the people of Israel: If a man dies and has no son, then give his inheritance to his daughters. And if he has no daughter either, transfer his inheritance to his brothers. If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. But if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan. This is a legal requirement for the people of Israel, just as the LORD commanded Moses.”

Join Pastor Darlene Zschech for a 6-day study on the Sisters of Zelophehad, who stepped out of their comfort zones and dared to ask for something very radical in their time. We believe their story can inspire women today, who are called to be strong pillars of faith and destined to be witnesses in our culture.
This Bible Plan draws wisdom from hidden heroes in the Bible—ordinary individuals whose faith and courage shaped divine outcomes. From Jael’s boldness, the daughters of Zelophehad’s faith, Jehosheba’s bravery, Ehud’s uniqueness, to the four lepers’ daring steps, each story reveals how God works through unlikely people. Their lives remind us that true heroism in God’s eyes is not about fame but faithful obedience in critical moments.
