Numbers 27:1-23
Sons or daughter be born is random to each one. Son and daughter has the same right to get the inheritance of his father. This is the first rule in human beings about the woman from the Lord.
The law said that land passed from father to eldest son, keeping it in the tribe. But Zelophehad left only daughters. Women could not normally inherit in other ancient Near Eastern countries, but in Israel the ruling is given that, failing sons, daughters may inherit. But they must marry within their own tribe to safeguard the tribal inheritance.
Joshua to succeed Moses: 1)Take Joshua , a man in whom is the Spirit 2)lay hand on him. 3)Make him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, 4)commission him in their sight. 5)give him some of your authority. Then the people of Israel may obey him.
Why?
Moses' life is almost over, as he looks out over the promised land. Joshua, his right hand man and one of the two faithful spies is God's choice of successor. He is now invested with authority to lead the nation in Moses' place.
Spiritual leader to succeed the leader needs above five steps, lay hand on him is transfer the Spirit of the Lord to him. Do it in public let people know this is an announcement to whole assembly.
Moses always ask the Lord when problem happened, the Lord gave him the best answer.
How?
When I have to make any decision that I don't know pray to the Lord is the best way. To be a Spiritual Leader I need the Holy Spirit with me.
