The daughters of Selofhad famously protest the Torah's inheritance law and succeed in changing it in their favour - a law that remains on the books until this day. However, by the end of Bemidbar, the case is not over. Their uncles counter-protest the ruling and insist that something must be done about the women who inherit to prevent them from marrying into another tribe lest they take their inherited land with them! God rules in favour of this as well. The only difference is, this law was repealed long ago. In this episode, we examine the differences between the two arguments, and their aftermath and consider what it means for us today.
