“She bare also Shaaph the father of Madmannah, Sheva the father of Machbenah, and the father of Gibea: and the daughter of Caleb was Achsa.”
1 Chronicles 2:49 KJV
She also bore Shaaph the father of Madmannah and Sheva the father of Macbenah and Gibea. Caleb’s daughter was Acsah. These made up the Caleb branch of the family tree. In all of the sons mentioned, the only daughter of Caleb, Acsah is written about in Scripture for a purpose. Although the society was patriarchal but in God’s eyes, females are just as important as males. Acsah was mentioned because she understood her inheritance. When she was married, her father gave her land. She asked for more and she got it! In the new covenant with Christ, we no longer see each other in our former state—Jew or non-Jew, rich or poor, male or female—because we’re all one through our union with Jesus Christ. And if we belong to Christ, then we are now Abraham’s “child” and a true heir of all his blessings because of the promise God made to Abraham! Let’s not limit God by asking Him for a little, let’s understand our inheritance and ask Him for the limitless! He’s our Heavenly Father! How awesome is our God! Amen!
