In addition to some rather esoteric material (the second census, the daughters of Zelophehad, the festival calendar, the route to the promised land, and the tribal territories), this part of Numbers also contains the story of the brazen serpent, the Balaam account, and the sin at Baal Peor. The daughters' reference to Korah implies that Zelophehad sided with the faction that supported Moses and Aaron's authority, over against Korah the Levite who contes ted their position. |
