1. "We can also see ourselves in a lot of that but by God's grace it doesn't stop there yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared to hope we see that in the promise that he has an inheritance we see that by what he does for these precious daughters see that by what he's done for us on the cross." [51:56]
2. "What we see is we see god telling this generation you have a home waiting for you just as you leave the wilderness behind and trust me to take care of you but I think today many of us who are in some type of trial we feel like we're in quick stand almost and we feel like we have two choices just kind of sit sit in it because we're not going anywhere we're going to get out and get deeper and deeper and deeper while never really looking up and god is standing there and said if you would just look up and trust me I will pull you out but many times we're more comfortable being in it but god is saying if you would just look up and reach out just have some faith." [48:05]
3. "The law of the torah is about allegiance about partnership about a covenant with god's people that's very different from what we just... we can also see ourselves in a lot of that but by God's grace it doesn't stop there yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared to hope."

5. "The wisdom of the torah that they could depend on to take them into new territory and that they could depend on to discern what the lord had for their lives that's why they had so much confidence in going to moses to address this so even though the laws didn't address every situation each thing that they faced they had confidence in the law maker and the lord said you are right he told moses they are right this would indeed be an injustice." [42:28]
### Quotes for Members
1. "The first part of this book focuses on this continued pursuit of this generation that have been exiled this generation that continued to be disobedient even as they got closer to the promised land so much so that they were they could see the promised land and yet they didn't enter it because of their own behavior because of their unbelief and it would take even the opposite so much more for them to enter this miraculous faith but one thing that we know about generations specifically generations that come after the prior is they will seek to do what the prior wouldn't or wouldn't do." [22:38]
2. "The faith and the provision of the lord that they had is remarkable but also their understanding of the law is remarkable verse 5 says that moses he brought their case now this is where the correlation is i was listening to tim mackie one of my favorite scholars and as he was talking about this passage he said it's almost as if they felt like this law was saying you want adam to oversee the land but not eve but again they knew the law maker and they knew that that wasn't it." [41:56]
3. "The lord's grace and his mercy we see how old generations unbelief led to rebellion and disobedience and them not getting into the promised land so much so that they had gotten so close that they would send spies in and to come back and say we're not doing that that's what their actions did this passage should be encouraging to us to see these encouraging women tenaciously holding on to the promise of god even when their personal circumstances were less than favorable many of us whether it's right now or in the past have been in less than favorable situations we to give up are we to just stop or do we have such faith as these women did especially when our back is against the wall when all odds seem stacked against us." [46:25]
4. "The daughters of Zelophehad are right you shall give the possession of their inheritance among their father's brothers and transfer the inheritance of the father to them and you shall speak to the people of Israel saying if a man dies and has no son then you should transfer his inheritance to the daughter and if he has no daughter then you should give his inheritance to his brothers and if he has no brothers then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers and if his father has no brothers then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest kinsman of his clan and he shall possess it and it shall be for the people of Israel as a new rule as the lord commanded to moses." [44:12]
5. "The wisdom of the laws showing miraculous faith despite their circumstances we'll see why these daughters are are so important within this legal ruling surrounding this book and why the book of numbers covers them multiple times but before we jump into that i want to specifically talk about the law that that we talk about specifically in the word the law in the old testament and the law that jesus refers to as he's talking about the old testament because it's quite different than the law that we know see that the law that we read the hebrew word for that is torah the first the first books of the old testament the first five books and it's quite different than what we're accustomed to in our everyday lives." [26:19]
