Hoglah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Hoglah was one of the five daughters of Zelophehad, a descendant of Manasseh, as recorded in Num.26.33, 27:1, Num 36:11, and Jos 17:3. Her sisters were Mahlah, Noah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Zelophehad had no sons, and according to the traditional inheritance laws, his daughters would not receive a portion of the Promised Land. However, the daughters of Zelophehad approached Moses and the leaders of Israel, requesting the right to inherit their father's portion (Num 27:1-4).
In response to their request, God instructed Moses to grant the daughters of Zelophehad an inheritance among their father's relatives, setting a precedent for cases where a man died without male heirs (Num 27:5-11). This ruling ensured that Hoglah and her sisters would receive a portion of the land allocated to the tribe of Manasseh.
The story of Hoglah and her sisters is significant, as it demonstrates the importance of women's rights and their ability to advocate for themselves in a patriarchal society. Their actions led to a change in inheritance laws, ensuring that women could inherit property in the absence of male heirs.
