Here in this chapter we read of the daughters of Zelophehad who asked for an inheritance from Moses. Their situation was this---Zelophehad had no sons but only had five daughters. The allocations of the portions of land were given to male family heads. This would mean that they would not have an inheritance. Their request was granted along with an enactment concerning the law of inheritance.
We read also that Moses was granted by God to see the Promise Land before he would die. Then we read of Joshua appointed as the successor of Moses.
