Tikvah

Tikvah was a biblical figure mentioned in the book of Genesis. She was the daughter of Zelophehad, a man from the tribe of Manasseh. Tikvah was the sister of Mahlah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah. She was the only daughter of Zelophehad who had no sons. Tikvah is best known for her role in the story of Zelophehad's daughters. When Zelophehad died, his daughters were left without an inheritance. They petitioned Moses to be given their father's inheritance, and Moses agreed. This was a revolutionary decision, as it was the first time in Israelite history that women were given an inheritance. Tikvah and her sisters were also instrumental in the establishment of the law of inheritance. This law stated that if a man died without sons, his daughters would inherit his property. This law was a major step forward in the rights of women in Israelite society.
