Meet the spunkiest five sisters of the Bible: Mahlah, Noa, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah. The Sisters Z. Orphaned, the Sisters Z have learned to stick together and stand up for their rights as a family.


Camped near the River Jordan, the five sisters can almost see the land of Canaan. They look forward to no longer having to live in a tent, but in a real home of stone and clay.

One day, Milcah and Tirzah climb Mt. Nebo to get a glimpse of Canaan and overhear Moses explain to the elders that only males will inherit property. The sisters won't inherit their father's parcel of land to build their home. They might even be separated. Outraged, the five sisters go to Moses to plead their case.


The Sisters Z don't know they're arguing the first case in history to allow women to inherit land. They just know it's not fair.

The Sisters Z is a refreshing retelling of the story of the daughters of Zelphehad. The sisters' personalities sparkle through Rabbi Olitzky and Rabbi Cohen's prose and in the lively illustrations by Lena Tohoff. Children of all ages will cheer as the sisters stand up to Moses for their rightful inheritance of land.

Review

"Finally, a children's book about biblical girls! The Sisters Z presents a biblical tale about five orphaned sisters who are smart and independent, and who successfully challenge the Israelite elder's assumptions about the rights of girls and boys, men and women . . . a lesson that is important for children and parents alike." - Ambassador Meryl Frank (ret.), President/CEO Make Global


"The Sisters Z is a delightful retelling of a little-known Biblical story. When Moses decides that the orphaned daughters of Zelophehad should receive their "own land and their own home" upon entering the land of Canaan, he affirms both the rights of family and the empowerment of women. The story is sweet and should be easily understood when read to children by their parents or a teacher. It's also exciting and funny. When the two youngest girls decide to 'hike up Mt. Nebo' against the instruction of their oldest sister, one sister says 'Mt. Nebo isn't far away. It is just far up.' The gentle illustrations enhance the story by clarifying the setting and the characters. This is especially important as there are 5 sisters with unfamiliar names." - Sylvia Rouss, author of In My Preschool, There is a Time for Everything

5.0 out of 5 stars Feminist Bible Story
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024
Who knew? There is a feminist bible story. When orphaned, daughters of Zelophehad did not wish to be split up and they stayed together . When the Israelites reached Canaan, all male heads of family were to be allotted land. By law, if he were to die, then the first born son would inherit the land. But with no men in the family, the girls would not be given a parcel of land for a home of their own. These girls saught out Moses and convinced him to give them land even though they were female. This atypical bible story is a fine example of women's rights. It is a bible story that explores theconcept of fair treatment to all. The characters were cute and clever and the illustrations were adorable. I recomend this story for any youngster.
