Numbers 35-36     

By granting refuge to individuals who were accused of murder, the LORD protected those falsely accused.  By prescribing limits, he assured that people could not abuse the law.  The same was true of the inheritance rights. Zelopehad’s daughters could inherit as long as they married within their tribe. 

Our rights end where those of another person begins.  We must be careful to walk our Christian walk with a view to protect our neighbor, showing our love – and God’s love for him.

LORD, give us the wisdom to walk carefully so that we do not take advantage of our rights – and do others wrong.
