 Zelophehad, of the tribe of Manasseh had five daughters and no sons. Their names were: Mahlah, meaning "sickness or disease"; Noah, meaning "rest or comfort"; Hoglah, meaning "partridge or boxer"; Milcah, meaning "queen of counsel"; and Tirzah, meaning "pleasantness." If we accept theses women's names as pictures of their abilities, natures, or the adversities they had overcome, we see all the qualities they had overcome, we see all the qualities necessary for the tenacity, tact, courage, wisdom and grace they needed to request and receive – an inheritance for themselves. The power of their example is in their wisdom of trusting God to see that they were not denied. The five daughters manifest a balance between a spirit of confrontation and a spirit of cooperation. Confronting the enemy and cooperating with God. They trusted in God allowing Him to be their Deliverer and Provider and in Him receiving their inheritance. So it will be with the Daughters of Z!
