Originally published 1986 Thomas Nelson
Rizpah (referred in Numbers 27 as Noah) is the second eldest daughter of Zelophehad. Upon her father’s death due to the plague, Rizpah fears she and her sisters will lose everything because only sons can inherit land, not daughters. Rizpah insists she must fight for what is “rightfully hers”, believing there must be a way to petition Moses to allow them their inheritance.
And Rizpah has more troubles. Hanniel has asked numerous times for her hand in marriage. But Rizpah is dead set on marrying Caleb... or no one. Even Mahlah, her eldest sister who is crippled, finds love and marries. So why is the God, Elohim, keeping her from marrying Caleb?
Set in biblical times, Rightfully Mine is a beautifully written and well told story of the Israelites struggle to reach the Promised Land, their gift from Elohim for conquering the Canaan. The author, Aggie Villanueva, weaves a superb blend of biblical history entwined with romance.
One of my favorite movies of all time is The Ten Commandments. Rightfully Mine is now one of my favorite books.
