Daily Bible Reading – October 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Peace and JusticeSample

October 22
Introduction
Today’s reading is a continuation of the saga of Zelophehad’s daughters. The Gilead clan leaders went to Moses because they were worried that if Zelophehad’s daughters married outside their clan, the land would transfer to the husbands’ clans.
Scripture Reading
Numbers 36:1-13
Today’s Key Verse: Numbers 36:8
Every woman who inherits property in an Israelite tribe must marry a man belonging to that tribe. In this way all Israelites will inherit the property of their ancestors.
Reflect
Reread verses 5-9. How is the law regarding the inheritance of property to be observed? What do the readings for today and yesterday teach about updating, rewriting, and renegotiating legal matters in contemporary times?
Pray
Lord God, keep my heart and mind open to your ways. Help me to adapt to whatever changes you have planned for me and to live according to your will. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Deuteronomy 15:1-18: Debts are to be canceled at the end of every seventh year.
Scripture
