But if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the people of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry. So it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance. Numbers 36:3 – Today’s chapter addresses an issue that arose with the solution to a previous issue within the people of Israel. If there was a man, who died with only daughters, his land would would go to the daughters as their inheritance. Yet if those daughters ever married, that land had the risk of being given over to a different tribe due to the marriage. It was a reasonable question to be brought to Moses, but it also is a classic example for us of the issues in life we have to deal with because of sin. Keep in mind if sin had never entered into the picture, there would be no death and no losing what the Lord gives us. We’d forever be in God’s perfect will and blessing. Yet that’s not our story, and issues like the one in our chapter are in our life too. Know just as God spoke into them, He speaks into our issues as well. He’ll give direction if we seek it and He’ll reveal to us the most holy way to handle all things. Will His led always be easy to follow? No, but that doesn’t lessen the direction’s holiness. Praise the Lord that we have a God who is patient enough to still speak into our story to help us through messes that are only in our life because sin is in our life.
