		Zelophehad died in the wilderness and left five daughters, who subsequently claimed the inheritance of their father.
		Zelophehad and his father, Hepher, were among those who went out from Egypt, and consequently each of them had his part in the land.

	PARASHAT MATTOT-MASSEI 5764/ 17th JULY 2004
		Zelophehad would have got one share out of 603,550 (of those leaving Egypt) of the land and his daughters would have each got one fifth of that, or about one part in 3 million.
		From this we would conclude that the daughters of Zelophehad did not get such a good deal, but they did strike a blow for women's rights, even if it did not serve them as well as it served their sisters of later generations.But that is not the end of the affair.
		This conclusion, that in this particular case the daughters of Zelophehad were able to take further shares in the land over and above the inheritance of their father and grandfather (wholeft Egypt but did not enter Canaan) demonstrates the significance of this case.

		Another praise of the Zelophehad daughters is seen in that their father was one of those who wanted to return to Egypt, meaning that despite the family environment, the daughters came out just fine.
