I find passages like Numbers 27 and the Daughters of Zelophehad quite unusual. It comes across that God hadn't even considered them until they came and complained to Moses about their lack of land because of their lack of male relatives. After complaining, it is like God says, "oh, I hadn't thought of that..." when this obviously can't be true.
It leaves us asking what is the message here? That God wants us to engage with Him? I guess it is only with engagement and 'thrashing things out' that we truly learn what is true in a relationship whereas one where we nod and agree without any understanding is pretty empty. Hmm...
