Notes that are not verse specific
Yahweh had given Israel the Law within which to operate.
It was very intricate and detailed. And yet there were applications which were not spelled out completely.
Such is the case of the succession of inheritance to daughters.
Yahweh with His perfect wisdom could have included this in the Law but chose not to.
It seems that, even in a rigid Law, Yahweh leaves room for adaptation and amendment. He shows that He is approachable and will consider requests.
We are not governed by the Law, but are privileged to be able to approach Our Heavenly Father through prayer in Jesus' Name. Let us take full advantage of this and lay out our praises, sins, fears, and requests before Him.

V.12 Moses was not allowed to cross the Jordon, but died beforehand. The loss of this great honour of leading God's chosen people on this occasion was taken from him because of his conduct in the striking of the rock at Meribah (Num 20:17). We see the true character of Moses although, in his acceptance of the loss of this privilege, in his prayer that a worthy and competent leader be appointed (V.15-17)

The daughters of Zelophehad made sure to secure their inheritance in Israel. Perhaps this incident points to the Gentiles’ being able to attain the promises given to Israel. Zelophehad’s five daughters could be equated with the five wise virgins who secured their eternal inheritance (Matt 25:1-10).

Numbers 27 - The daughters' of Zelophehad without an inheritance?
Num.27:1 - Zelophehad was a member of the tribe of Manasseh. He had five daughters but no sons. So the issue would arise at some when their father dies as to what would become of them? Under the Law as it stood, Zelophehad's death brought an end to his family inheritance in the land, which would disappear forever.
Numbers 27:2 - The matter was taken to Moses and the High Priest and the leaders od the congregation. This was an important matter of interest to the whole congregation. Moses older brother Aaron had died (see, Numbers 20:25-29) so Eleazer was now the High Priest.
Numbers 27:3 - Zelophehad died in for his own sins in the wilderness. As did Aaron (Numbers 20:24) and Moses (Numbers 27:13-14) and the whole community who lacked faith (Numbers 26:64-65).
Numbers 27:6-11 - Notice Moses was the mediator the LORD spoke to at the entrance to the Tabernacle in the presence of representatives of the whole congregation.
Numbers 27:18 - Joshua (Saviour or Jesus) was appointed by the LORD to lead Israel into the promised land.
Lessons for Us
1. We are reminded that the reason for our death is twofold, first because we have inherited the nature of Adam (1Corinthians 15:22). Second reason is emphasised in the Book of Numbers, we died because of our sins (Ezekiel 18:4).
2. We have a mediator like Israel had Moses. Our mediator is the Lord Jesus Christ (1Timothy 2:5-6).
3. God has appointed His son Jesus Christ to lead us into His Kingdom.
Jesus will lead the saints into God's land (Zechariah 14:5).
4. Provision was made in the Law given to Moses for the daughters of Zelophehad to have an inheritance in the land. This incident is recorded for us to remind us that the household of faith brethren and sisters are the bride of Jesus Christ (Matthew 25:1-13). Let us watch, we do not know the day or hour when our bridegroom will appear!

27 The daughters of Zelophehad would enter the land. That much was sure. But unlike their fellow countrymen they had nowhere to go in the land! So they approach Moses and Eleazar to highlight the problem. Notice - :7-11 – their focus is on inheritance which highlights the focus of Abraham – Gen 15:7. They were looking beyond the literal entering in to the land to the fulfilment of the promises to Abraham.

vv 18,23 Joshua was a man who already was "a man in whom is the Spirit", yet Moses was commanded to lay his hands upon him. Why? The answer is given in Deut 34:9 "And Joshua, the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him." Like Solomon, Joshua needed to be equipped with wisdom in order to lead the people of Israel. Moses laying on of his hands allowed that spirit of wisdom to be added to what Joshua already possessed.

1. Then came <7126>(8799) the daughters <1323> of Zelophehad <6765>, the son <1121> of Hepher <2660>, the son <1121> of Gilead <1568>, the son <1121> of Machir <4353>, the son <1121> of Manasseh <4519>, of the families <4940> of Manasseh <4519> the son <1121> of Joseph <3130>: and these are the names <8034> of his daughters <1323>; Mahlah <4244>, Noah <5270>, and Hoglah <2295>, and Milcah <4435>, and Tirzah <8656>.
2. And they stood <5975>(8799) before <6440> Moses <4872>, and before <6440> Eleazar <499> the priest <3548>, and before <6440> the princes <5387> and all the congregation <5712>, by the door <6607> of the tabernacle <168> of the congregation <4150>, saying <559>(8800),
3. Our father <1> died <4191>(8804) in the wilderness <4057>, and he was not in <8432> the company <5712> of them that gathered themselves together <3259>(8737) against the LORD <3068> in the company <5712> of Korah <7141>; but died <4191>(8804) in his own sin <2399>, and had no sons <1121>.
4. Why should the name <8034> of our father <1> be done away <1639>(8735) from among <8432> his family <4940>, because he hath no son <1121>? Give <5414>(8798) unto us therefore a possession <272> among <8432> the brethren <251> of our father <1>.
5. And Moses <4872> brought <7126>(8686) their cause <4941> before <6440> the LORD <3068>.
6. And the LORD <3068> spake <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, saying <559>(8800),
7. The daughters <1323> of Zelophehad <6765> speak <1696>(8802) right <3651>: thou shalt surely <5414>(8800) give <5414>(8799) them a possession <272> of an inheritance <5159> among <8432> their father's <1> brethren <251>; and thou shalt cause the inheritance <5159> of their father <1> to pass <5674>(8689) unto them.
8. And thou shalt speak <1696>(8762) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saying <559>(8800), If a man <376> die <4191>(8799), and have no son <1121>, then ye shall cause his inheritance <5159> to pass <5674>(8689) unto his daughter <1323>.
9. And if he have no daughter <1323>, then ye shall give <5414>(8804) his inheritance <5159> unto his brethren <251>.
10. And if he have no brethren <251>, then ye shall give <5414>(8804) his inheritance <5159> unto his father's <1> brethren <251>.
11. And if his father <1> have no brethren <251>, then ye shall give <5414>(8804) his inheritance <5159> unto his kinsman <7607> that is next <7138> to him of his family <4940>, and he shall possess <3423>(8804) it: and it shall be unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478> a statute <2708> of judgment <4941>, as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872>.
12. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Get thee up <5927>(8798) into this mount <2022> Abarim <5682>, and see <7200>(8798) the land <776> which I have given <5414>(8804) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.
13. And when thou hast seen <7200>(8804) it, thou also shalt be gathered <622>(8738) unto thy people <5971>, as Aaron <175> thy brother <251> was gathered <622>(8738).
14. For ye rebelled <4784>(8804) against my commandment <6310> in the desert <4057> of Zin <6790>, in the strife <4808> of the congregation <5712>, to sanctify <6942>(8687) me at the water <4325> before their eyes <5869>: that is the water <4325> of Meribah <4809> in Kadesh <6946> in the wilderness <4057> of Zin <6790>.
15. And Moses <4872> spake <1696>(8762) unto the LORD <3068>, saying <559>(8800),
16. Let the LORD <3068>, the God <430> of the spirits <7307> of all flesh <1320>, set <6485>(8799) a man <376> over the congregation <5712>,
17. Which may go out <3318>(8799) before <6440> them, and which may go in <935>(8799) before <6440> them, and which may lead them out <3318>(8686), and which may bring them in <935>(8686); that the congregation <5712> of the LORD <3068> be not as sheep <6629> which have no shepherd <7462>(8802).
18. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Take <3947>(8798) thee Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Nun <5126>, a man <376> in whom is the spirit <7307>, and lay <5564>(8804) thine hand <3027> upon him;
19. And set <5975>(8689) him before <6440> Eleazar <499> the priest <3548>, and before <6440> all the congregation <5712>; and give him a charge <6680>(8765) in their sight <5869>.
20. And thou shalt put <5414>(8804) some of thine honour <1935> upon him, that all the congregation <5712> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> may be obedient <8085>(8799).
21. And he shall stand <5975>(8799) before <6440> Eleazar <499> the priest <3548>, who shall ask <7592>(8804) counsel for him after the judgment <4941> of Urim <224> before <6440> the LORD <3068>: at his word <6310> shall they go out <3318>(8799), and at his word <6310> they shall come in <935>(8799), both he, and all the children <1121> of Israel <3478> with him, even all the congregation <5712>.
22. And Moses <4872> did <6213>(8799) as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) him: and he took <3947>(8799) Joshua <3091>, and set <5975>(8686) him before <6440> Eleazar <499> the priest <3548>, and before <6440> all the congregation <5712>:
23. And he laid <5564>(8799) his hands <3027> upon him, and gave him a charge <6680>(8762), as the LORD <3068> commanded <1696>(8765) by the hand <3027> of Moses <4872>.
Notes that are not verse specific
v17 We are so indebted to God for our lives yet here God chooses to see Himself as indebted to us! What a privilege that God should view His relationship to us as mutual indebtedness (although we are exceedingly more indebted to Him). He uses us as his instruments in preserving the lives of poor people. May we not forfeit such a privilege by being mean-spirited to those in need.

19. A man <1419> of great <1632> wrath <2534> shall suffer <5375>(8802) punishment <6066>: for if thou deliver <5337>(8686) him, yet thou must do it again <3254>(8686).

Notes that are not verse specific
ATTITUDES AND RULES
Joshua Harris, in his book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, said this, "Rules by themselves won't change our hearts, but once we've taken on a new attitude, protective boundaries can help keep us on course" (pg. 117)
When Paul said to "Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh," he was speaking about people who tried to make Christians live by the Law of Moses, and more than that, all the traditions that went along with it. They were attempting to take Christians, who had been freed from their bondage, back to the law and make them rely on their own works and what they themselves could achieve, rather than relying on the grace of Christ.
Living by rules can never change us. That is why we could not be saved by the law. But the protective boundaries of the law, once our attitude and lifestyle is centred on Christ, will certainly help. Paul said that all he had once put his confidence in - the way he had kept the law, the way he had been brought up and his heritage - were all counted as nothing in Christ.
So let's not be proud of the things we do or the rules we keep, but live in the attitude of humility, in the grace that comes from God.
Robert Prins [Auckland - Pakuranga - (NZ)] Comment added in 2002 Reply to Robert
3:4 Paul might have written about the gospel that was preached. However he was inspired to call it “the dispensation of the grace of God”. It is not simply a matter of knowing facts about how God has reconciled us to Himself in Christ. The very fact that there is a gospel message at all is a consequence of God being gracious to His creation.
Peter Forbes [Mountsorrel (UK)] Comment added in 2023 Reply to Peter
Phil. 3 vs.6-7 "“Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is of the law, blameless.”
v.7 "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.”
Paul put his former life behind him. The past cannot be changed. Like Paul we should not dwell on the past. Remember Lots’ wife? [Gen.19 v.17]
Luke 9 v.62 “Jesus said - No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
Phil. 3 vs.13-14 “…forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before me,”
v.14 “I press forward toward the mark for the prize of the high calling for God in Christ Jesus.”
To do this we should “Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ:…” [Phil.1 v.27]

11. If by any means <1513> <4458> I might attain <2658>(5661) unto <1519> the resurrection <1815> of the dead <3498>.
12. Not <3756> as though <3754> I had already <2235> attained <2983>(5627), either <2228> were already <2235> perfect <5048>(5769): but <1161> I follow after <1377>(5719), if <1499> <2532> that I may apprehend <2638>(5632) that for <1909> which <3739> also <2532> I am apprehended <2638>(5681) of <5259> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
13. Brethren <80>, I <1473> count <3049>(5736) not <3756> myself <1683> to have apprehended <2638>(5760): but <1161> this one thing <1520> I do, forgetting <1950>(5740) those things <3303> which are behind <3694>, and <1161> reaching forth unto <1901>(5740)(5734) those things which are before <1715>,
14. I press <1377>(5719) toward <2596> the mark <4649> for <1909> the prize <1017> of the high <507> calling <2821> of God <2316> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
15. Let <5426> <0> us therefore <3767>, as many as <3745> be perfect <5046>, be <5426> <0> thus <5124> minded <5426>(5725): and <2532> if in any thing <1536> ye be <5426> <0> otherwise <2088> minded <5426>(5719), God <2316> shall reveal <601>(5692) even <2532> this <5124> unto you <5213>.
16. Nevertheless <4133>, whereto <1519> <3739> we have already attained <5348>(5656), let us walk <4748>(5721) by the same <846> rule <2583>, let us mind <5426>(5721) the same thing <846>.
17. Brethren <80>, be <1096>(5737) followers together <4831> of me <3450>, and <2532> mark <4648>(5720) them which walk <4043>(5723) so <3779> as <2531> ye have <2192>(5719) us <2248> for an ensample <5179>.
18. (For <1063> many <4183> walk <4043>(5719), of whom <3739> I have told <3004>(5707) you <5213> often <4178>, and <1161> now <3568> tell <3004>(5719) you even <2532> weeping <2799>(5723), that they are the enemies <2190> of the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>:
19. Whose <3739> end <5056> is destruction <684>, whose <3739> God <2316> is their belly <2836>, and <2532> whose glory <1391> is in <1722> their <846> shame <152>, who <3588> mind <5426>(5723) earthly things <1919>.)
20. For <1063> our <2257> conversation <4175> is <5225>(5719) in <1722> heaven <3772>; from <1537> whence <3739> also <2532> we look for <553>(5736) the Saviour <4990>, the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
21. Who <3739> shall change <3345>(5692) our <2257> vile <5014> body <4983>, that <1519> it may be <1096>(5635) fashioned like unto <4832> his <846> glorious <1391> body <4983>, according to <2596> the working <1753> whereby he <846> is able <1410>(5738) even <2532> to subdue <5293>(5658) all things <3956> unto himself <1438>.
1. Therefore <5620>, my <3450> brethren <80> dearly beloved <27> and <2532> longed for <1973>, my <3450> joy <5479> and <2532> crown <4735>, so <3779> stand fast <4739>(5720) in <1722> the Lord <2962>, my dearly beloved <27>.
2. I beseech <3870>(5719) Euodias <2136>, and <2532> beseech <3870>(5719) Syntyche <4941>, that they be of <5426> <0> the same <846> mind <5426>(5721) in <1722> the Lord <2962>.
3. And <2532> I intreat <2065>(5719) thee <4571> also <2532>, true <1103> yokefellow <4805>, help <4815>(5732) those women <846> which <3748> laboured <4866>(5656) with me <3427> in <1722> the gospel <2098>, with <3326> Clement <2815> also <2532>, and <2532> with other <3062> my <3450> fellowlabourers <4904>, whose <3739> names <3686> are in <1722> the book <976> of life <2222>.
4. Rejoice <5463>(5720) in <1722> the Lord <2962> alway <3842>: and again <3825> I say <2046>(5692), Rejoice <5463>(5720).
5. Let <1097> <0> your <5216> moderation <1933> be known <1097>(5682) unto all <3956> men <444>. The Lord <2962> is at hand <1451>.
6. Be careful <3309>(5720) for nothing <3367>; but <235> in <1722> every thing <3956> by prayer <4335> and <2532> supplication <1162> with <3326> thanksgiving <2169> let <1107> <0> your <5216> requests <155> be made known <1107>(5744) unto <4314> God <2316>.
7. And <2532> the peace <1515> of God <2316>, which <3588> passeth <5242>(5723) all <3956> understanding <3563>, shall keep <5432>(5692) your <5216> hearts <2588> and <2532> minds <5216> <3540> through <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
8. Finally <3063>, brethren <80>, whatsoever things <3745> are <2076>(5748) true <227>, whatsoever things <3745> are honest <4586>, whatsoever things <3745> are just <1342>, whatsoever things <3745> are pure <53>, whatsoever things <3745> are lovely <4375>, whatsoever things <3745> are of good report <2163>; if there be any <1536> virtue <703>, and <2532> if there be any <1536> praise <1868>, think <3049>(5737) on these things <5023>.
9. Those things <5023>, which <3739> ye have <3129> <0> both <2532> learned <3129>(5627), and <2532> received <3880>(5627), and <2532> heard <191>(5656), and <2532> seen <1492>(5627) in <1722> me <1698>, do <4238>(5719): and <2532> the God <2316> of peace <1515> shall be <2071>(5704) with <3326> you <5216>.
10. But <1161> I rejoiced <5463>(5644) in <1722> the Lord <2962> greatly <3171>, that <3754> now <2235> at the last <4218> your care <5426>(5721) <330> <0> of <5228> me <1700> hath flourished again <330>(5627); wherein <1909> <3739> ye were <5426> <0> also <2532> careful <5426>(5707), but <1161> ye lacked opportunity <170>(5711).
11. Not <3756> that I speak <3004>(5719) in respect <3754> <2596> of want <5304>: for <1063> I <1473> have learned <3129>(5627), in <1722> whatsoever state <3739> I am <1510>(5748), therewith to be <1511>(5750) content <842>.
12. <1161> I know <1492>(5758) both how to be abased <5013>(5745), and <2532> I know <1492>(5758) how to abound <4052>(5721): every where <1722> <3956> and <2532> in <1722> all things <3956> I am instructed <3453>(5769) both <2532> to be full <5526>(5745) and <2532> to be hungry <3983>(5721), both <2532> to abound <4052>(5721) and <2532> to suffer need <5302>(5745).
13. I can do <2480>(5719) all things <3956> through <1722> Christ <5547> which <3588> strengtheneth <1743>(5723) me <3165>.
14. Notwithstanding <4133> ye have well <2573> done <4160>(5656), that ye did communicate with <4790>(5660) my <3450> affliction <2347>.
15. Now <1161> ye <5210> Philippians <5374> know <1492>(5758) also <2532>, that <3754> in <1722> the beginning <746> of the gospel <2098>, when <3753> I departed <1831>(5627) from <575> Macedonia <3109>, no <3762> church <1577> communicated with <2841>(5656) me <3427> as <1519> concerning <3056> giving <1394> and <2532> receiving <3028>, but <1508> ye <5210> only <3441>.
16. For <3754> even <2532> in <1722> Thessalonica <2332> ye sent <3992>(5656) once <2532> <530> and <2532> again <1364> unto <1519> my <3427> necessity <5532>.
17. Not <3756> because <3754> I desire <1934>(5719) a gift <1390>: but <235> I desire <1934>(5719) fruit <2590> that may abound <4121>(5723) to <1519> your <5216> account <3056>.
18. But <1161> I have <568>(5719) all <3956>, and <2532> abound <4052>(5719): I am full <4137>(5769), having received <1209>(5666) of <3844> Epaphroditus <1891> the things which were sent from <3844> you <5216>, an odour <3744> of a sweet smell <2175>, a sacrifice <2378> acceptable <1184>, wellpleasing <2101> to God <2316>.
19. But <1161> my <3450> God <2316> shall supply <4137>(5692) all <3956> your <5216> need <5532> according to <2596> his <848> riches <4149> in <1722> glory <1391> by <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
20. Now <1161> unto God <2316> and <2532> our <2257> Father <3962> be glory <1391> for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.
21. Salute <782>(5663) every <3956> saint <40> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. The brethren <80> which are with <4862> me <1698> greet <782>(5736) you <5209>.
22. All <3956> the saints <40> salute <782>(5736) you <5209>, <1161> chiefly <3122> they that are of <1537> Caesar's <2541> household <3614>.
23. The grace <5485> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> be with <3326> you <5216> all <3956>. Amen <281>. To <4314> the Philippians <5374> written <1125>(5648) from <575> Rome <4516>, by <1223> Epaphroditus <1891>.
