A moving biblical story about women's wisdom. Five sisters who dared to ask for their inheritance and changed society. A journey into the revolution that no one knows about.

Book cover: And They Shall Be

About the book

Five orphaned sisters in the vast Israelite camp in the desert. They have no land to inherit, and no legal voice. Yet they step forward to Moses, God answers, and their request reshapes society.

The story of Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milca and Tirzah, the Daughters of Zelophehad, retold like never before.

Bilha Marom weaves close biblical reading with a warm, contemporary feminine gaze, inviting readers to meet a familiar text from an entirely new point of view.

Sisterhood

Women standing together, speaking in one voice.

Women's wisdom

The ability to seize the moment and choose the right words.

A quiet revolution

Deep change born from a request, not a cry.

Precedents for human enlightenment

"They shall be to whomever is good in their eyes". The right to choose a partner, and economic independence.

Groundbreaking midrash

Spiritual dimensions of their names, and a wisdom drawn from hidden depths.

Repairing the world

Love as a driving force, and the return to the valley of Dothan.
