Lioness: Mahlah's Journey
Lioness: Mahlah's Journey: The Daughters of Zelophehad | Barbara M. Britton
2 posts | 2 read
While the Israelites struggle to occupy the Promised Land of God, Mahlah bat Zelophehad is orphaned and left to care for her four sisters. But daughters of the dead are unable to inherit land, and it will take a miracle for Mahlah to obtain the means to care for her sisters and uphold the vow she made to her dying mother. Mahlah must seek Moses, the leader of her people, and request something extraordinary—the right for a daughter to inherit her deceased father's land. A right that will upset the ox-cart of male inheritance and thrust her into the role of a rebel. But, God is the protector of the orphan and the widow, and five orphaned daughters need His help. With God, anything is possible. Even changing man's tradition.

Confession time: the only reason I knew of the daughters of Zelophehad before Barbara M. Britton began her series on them is that I know a woman named Tirzah. Using the meagre amount of information about the family found in the book of Numbers, Britton has crafted a tale of the final years of the Exodus from a female perspective.

My favorite Biblical Fiction novels explore lesser recognized passages of the Bible. This book is a crowned jewel in that regard, creating a back story to Numbers 26: 33, Numbers 27: 1-11, Numbers 36, Joshua 17: 3-6. The book highlights the struggles of these five young women and their unstoppable faith in God. This story is fast-paced and full of heart-pounding action.
