Bileam und der Engel, Gustav Jäger, 1836

The final portion of the Book of Numbers makes for a rough journey. Balak, the King of Moab, asks Balaam to curse Israel, only for Balaam to have a peculiar interaction with a speaking donkey.

The daughters of Zelophehad request a landholding from Moses and the assembly, granting property rights to women — but with hefty restrictions.
