AGAINST MOSE AND AGAINST AARON IN THE COMPANY OF KORAH, WHEN THEY STROVE AGAINST
THE LORD:
[Numbers 26:10] AND THE EARTH OPENED HER MOUTH, AND SWALLOWED THEM UP TOGETHER
WITH KORAH, WHEN THAT COMPANY DIED, WHAT TIME THE FIRE DEVOURED TWO HUNDRED AND

From 59,300 (Numbers 1:23), the tribe of
Simeon shrank to a population of only 22,200 (Numbers 26:14), a decline of more
than 37,000!
There is a British Israel Theory that the missing
Simeonites
had gone overseas and founded the nation of Sparta. We however consider Sparta
to have been founded by Edom (Esau) and the missing
Simeonites
to have died in the plague caused by copulation with the Moabite and
Midianite
sex-trap vixens.

i.e. it is not the same name in Hebrew as Sarah the wife of Abraham.
Serach
daughter of Asher is given her own mention here which (apart from the daughter
of Zelophehad
from Manasseh) is exceptional. Perhaps she too was to have Tribal
singnificance?
[Numbers 26:47] THESE ARE THE FAMILIES OF THE SONS OF ASHER ACCORDING TO THOSE
THAT WERE NUMBERED OF THEM; WHO WERE FIFTY AND THREE THOUSAND AND FOUR
HUNDRED.
[Numbers 26:48] OF THE SONS OF NAPHTALI AFTER THEIR FAMILIES: OF JAHZEEL, THE

s3
[Numbers 26:52] AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES, SAYING,
[Numbers 26:53] UNTO THESE THE LAND SHALL BE DIVIDED FOR AN INHERITANCE
ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF NAMES.
[Numbers 26:54] TO MANY THOU SHALT GIVE THE MORE INHERITANCE, AND TO FEW THOU
SHALT GIVE THE LESS INHERITANCE: TO EVERY ONE SHALL HIS INHERITANCE BE GIVEN
ACCORDING TO THOSE THAT WERE NUMBERED OF HIM.
The land was to be divided equally with
each warrior receiving an equal share and this share was to be irrevocably
passed onto his descendants.
[Numbers 26:55] NOTWITHSTANDING THE LAND SHALL BE DIVIDED BY LOT: ACCORDING TO
THE NAMES OF THE TRIBES OF THEIR FATHERS THEY SHALL INHERIT.
Tribal Inheritance is determined by the
father. Lineage is patrilineal.
[Numbers 26:56] ACCORDING TO THE LOT SHALL THE POSSESSION THEREOF BE DIVIDED
BETWEEN MANY AND FEW.
[Numbers 26:57] AND THESE ARE THEY THAT WERE NUMBERED OF THE LEVITES AFTER THEIR
FAMILIES: OF GERSHON, THE FAMILY OF THE GERSHONITES: OF KOHATH, THE FAMILY OF
THE KOHATHITES: OF MERARI, THE FAMILY OF THE MERARITES.
[Numbers 26:58] THESE ARE THE FAMILIES OF THE LEVITES: THE FAMILY OF THE
LIBNITES, THE FAMILY OF THE HEBRONITES, THE FAMILY OF THE MAHLITES, THE FAMILY
OF THE MUSHITES, THE FAMILY OF THE KORATHITES. AND KOHATH BEGAT AMRAM.
[Numbers 26:59] AND THE NAME OF AMRAM'S WIFE WAS JOCHEBED, THE DAUGHTER OF
LEVI, WHOM HER MOTHER BARE TO LEVI IN EGYPT: AND SHE BARE UNTO AMRAM AARON AND
MOSES, AND MIRIAM THEIR SISTER.
Amram
was the son of Korath
who was the son of Levi whereas his wife
Jochebad
(Hebrew :Yocheved)
was the daughter of Levi.
Yocheved was therefore the sister
of the father of Amram,
she was his aunt. Such marriages were later to be strictly forbidden by the
Torah. Before the giving of the Torah most Torah laws were not
applicable.
[Numbers 26:60] AND UNTO AARON WAS BORN NADAB, AND ABIHU, ELEAZAR, AND ITHAMAR.
[Numbers 26:61] AND NADAB AND ABIHU DIED, WHEN THEY OFFERED STRANGE FIRE BEFORE
THE LORD.
[Numbers 26:62] AND THOSE THAT WERE NUMBERED OF THEM WERE TWENTY AND THREE
THOUSAND, ALL MALES FROM A MONTH OLD AND UPWARD: FOR THEY WERE NOT NUMBERED
AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO INHERITANCE GIVEN THEM AMONG
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
[Numbers 26:63] THESE ARE THEY THAT WERE NUMBERED BY MOSES AND ELEAZAR THE
PRIEST, WHO NUMBERED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN THE PLAINS OF MOAB BY JORDAN NEAR
JERICHO.
[Numbers 26:64] BUT AMONG THESE THERE WAS NOT A MAN OF THEM WHOM MOSES AND
AARON THE PRIEST NUMBERED, WHEN THEY NUMBERED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN THE
WILDERNESS OF SINAI.
[Numbers 26:65] FOR THE LORD HAD SAID OF THEM, THEY SHALL SURELY DIE IN THE
WILDERNESS. AND THERE WAS NOT LEFT A MAN OF THEM, SAVE CALEB THE SON OF
JEPHUNNEH, AND JOSHUA THE SON OF NUN.
All the people who had come out of Egypt
were to die in the Wilderness except Caleb and
Yehoshua.
[Numbers 27:1] THEN CAME THE DAUGHTERS OF ZELOPHEHAD, THE SON OF HEPHER, THE SON
OF GILEAD, THE SON OF MACHIR, THE SON OF MANASSEH, OF THE FAMILIES OF MANASSEH
THE SON OF JOSEPH: AND THESE ARE THE NAMES OF HIS DAUGHTERS; MAHLAH, NOAH, AND
HOGLAH, AND MILCAH, AND TIRZAH.

# 2. Question on Male Lineage and the daughters of
Zelophehad
http://britam.org/now/1133Now.html#Question
The daughters of
Zelophehad,
from the tribe of Manasseh, asked for and received (Numbers 27:7) the
inheritance of their father. Archaeological evidence shows that these women gave
their names to provinces within the inheritance of Manasseh west of the Jordan.
"Brit-Am Now"-968
#1. Archaeology: Evidence of Ancient Tribal Clans in Samaria of Manasseh
http://britam.org/now/968Now.html
The daughters of
Zelophehad
asserted their rights.
This a characteristic of the Tribe of Manasseh.
We find it amongst the Picts
of Scotland who descend from
Ayazar from Manasseh and were
related to the Khazars.
We also find it amongst the
Khazars who were once lead by a
woman general. The Scythians also occasionally used women warriors.
In the USA today women are very important at all levels of society and in all
fields of endeavor and in all political groups (left or right).
Ms Joseph[Numbers 27:2] AND THEY STOOD BEFORE MOSES, AND BEFORE ELEAZAR THE PRIEST, AND BEFORE THE PRINCES AND ALL THE CONGREGATION, BY THE DOOR OF THE TABERNACLE OF THE CONGREGATION, SAYING,
http://www.britam.org/tribes/JosephTC.html
The daughters of Zelphehad asserted themselves and asked for their rights. The Almighty justified them. They received what was theirs naturally without upsetting the masculine equilibrium.
Amos (ch.4) refers to the women of Manasseh and Ephraim in Samaria as the "Cows of Bashan" who make irrational demands of their husbands. Their menfolk are then so harassed by the women that they go out and oppress the poor and vulnerable in order to satisfy the outlandish demands of their ladies. The women of Joseph have a tendency to be assertive. This can be either good or bad depending on the circumstances but apparently it is the reality. They also have the quality of understanding and acting as companions, as partners along the road of life. The menfolk of Joseph expect such a quality.
The Haftorah (Reading from the Prophets) is from Jeremiah (Yirmiyahu) 1:1-2:3.
This ends with the Almighty recalling the early days of Israel and how they were once a holy people. In the future they will return to be holy once again.
http://www.britam.org/Jeremiah1to5.html[Jeremiah 2:2] GO AND CRY IN THE EARS OF JERUSALEM, SAYING, THUS SAITH THE LORD; I REMEMBER THEE, THE KINDNESS OF THY YOUTH, THE LOVE OF THINE ESPOUSALS, WHEN THOU WENTEST AFTER ME IN THE WILDERNESS, IN A LAND THAT WAS NOT SOWN.
Jeremiah likens Israel to a bride who was prepared to go with her husband into the wilderness and the great unknown. In a sense every marriage has something of this character.
The early settlers of America, Australia, and Israel also were taking great risks and their womenfolk are to be admired at least as much as the men.
The Jews went into Exile and remained true to God according to their level of understanding even though this left them without protection or surety of abode and often with only a precarious livelihood.
[Jeremiah 2:3] ISRAEL WAS HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD, AND THE FIRSTFRUITS OF HIS INCREASE: ALL THAT DEVOUR HIM SHALL OFFEND; EVIL SHALL COME UPON THEM, SAITH THE LORD.
