Numbers 36:
The leaders of Manasseh had issues with giving their dead brother's
inheritance to his daughters because if the women married into other Israeli
tribes, then they would lose part of their lands to others, so they complained
to Moses to inquire from God again. So to God, women are not independent;
they belong either to their father or husband's family as well as all they have.
Women separating themselves from men in order to be free and independent is
to follow Satan. God agreed with the leaders of Manasseh and
declared that daughters who inherit from their fathers because they had no
brothers to inherit it must marry within their father's tribe in order that the
inheritance stays within the tribe. God forbids transfer of property to
other tribes or families because a woman marries an outsider. So God does
not know it all; God listens and makes reasonable decisions as we go along into
the future. These women married their cousins on their father's side
and the inheritance of their fathers stayed within the tribe.
Deuteronomy 1: God told Moses to leave Horeb and move forward to possess
their possession in the land of the Amorites. Israel was now too
large for Moses, so he chose leaders among them to be commanders of 1000, 100,
50, and 10. Moses charged them to show no partiality to anyone, not to
fear anyone, and that all judgment belongs to God. Moses was upset with Israel
because they did not have faith in God after God had freed them from Egyptian
slavery and promised them a land as inheritance. They even sinned and
rebelled against God by refusing to possess the promised land. Moses
accused the Jews of being the reason why God was not permitting him to lead them
into the promised land. He told them that Joshua, his assistant, will lead
them into it and that they must encourage him. It was because of their
disobedience that God said only Joshua, Caleb, and the innocent young would
enter their inheritance and the older one will die in the desert.

Deuteronomy 2:
God told the Jews that were about to pass through the land of their brother,
Esau, that God had given this land to descendants of Esau and the Jews cannot inherit any of
it but pay for whatever they eat and drink there. After wandering 40 years
in the desert, God also told them not to provoke the Moabites because God had
given the Land of Ar to the descendants of Lot. Israel wins some battles
and possess the land. God always keeps his promise.
Deuteronomy 3:
Israel won more battles to possess the land and the land was divided
among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, who promised to send their able men to fight on until
all other tribes have settled on their lands. God told them not to be
afraid of the kings ahead of them because God will fight for them and defeat
them like God did the first two kings. Moses then pleaded with God to see
the promised land since he will not enter it. God allowed Moses to see the
promised land. |
