Once again, this is day 74. Some people catch colds occasionally, and this guy has got one. So hopefully you don't hate the deeper, raspier version of Father Mike normally reading the Bible. So day 74. Chapter 27 and 28 from Book of Numbers. Chapter 28 from Deuteronomy and praying Psalm 112.
The Book of Numbers, Chapter 27.
The Daughters of Zelophehad. Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hefer, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were Malah, Noah,
and they stood before moses and before eleazar the priest and before the leaders and all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting saying our father died in the wilderness he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the lord in the company of korah but died for his own sin and he had no sons.
Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brethren. Moses brought the case before the Lord, and the Lord said to Moses, the daughters of Zelophehad are right. You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
And you shall say to the sons of Israel, if a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
