Today: [Numbers Chapter Twenty-Seven] The Appointment of Joshua. In this chapter Moses is informed that he will not enter Canaan land because of his disobedience in Zin. He went all through the wilderness for forty years and in one outburst cost himself the fulfillment of going into the land of promise. His last act was to settle a land allocation matter regarding a man who had several daughters but no son to pass his inheritance to. Again the bible uncharacteristic of ancient times, defends the rights of women. Joshua is chosen by God to be Moses successor and Moses lays his hands upon Joshua before the people to designate Joshua’s new leadership role.
