Numbers 27:6-11

What a gracious interposition of the LORD, in the case of Zelophehad's daughters; and what a merciful determination! But, Reader! connect with it what was remarked before, of these five sisters being not among the numbered; and then see whether there is not somewhat of a spiritual illustration in it respecting the Gospel church, and that everlasting inheritance purchased by the LORD JESUS, of which the earthly Canaan was a type. Doth it not say, that while all the numbered of Israel shall be inheritors of GOD'S holy mountain, multitudes of the Gentile church, whom, as John saw in his vision, no man could number, shall be brought in and included in that rich salvation? Pray! Reader, consult those scriptures, and compare them together: Isaiah 49:18; Revelation 7:4.
