parsha bit: Pinchas

[cellio]

When Tzelof'chad died without any sons, his daughters went to Moshe and said "give us an inheritance". Rabbi Natan says that this shows that the tenacity of women is stronger than that of men: when Israel was told to take the land the men rejected their inheritance, saying "let us go back to Egypt". The women, instead, said "give us an inheritance". (Sifrei 133)
