1 | Difficulty understanding Deutronomy 23:1 | Deut 23:1 | Platos | 181611 | ||
Deutronomy 23:1 reads "He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord". Am I understanding this right that if your testicles are wounded and either/or your penis has been severed you are denied entry into the congregation? | ||||||
2 | Difficulty understanding Deutronomy 23:1 | Deut 23:1 | kalos | 181612 | ||
Yes, you understand it correctly. Such a person "may not enter the assembly of the Lord." The NET Bible Deut. 23:1 A man with crushed[1] or severed genitals[2] may not enter the assembly of the Lord. 1tn Heb “bruised by crushing,” which many English versions take to refer to crushed testicles (NAB, NRSV, NLT); TEV “who has been castrated.” 2tn Heb “cut off with respect to the penis”; KJV, ASV “hath his privy member cut off”; English versions vary in their degree of euphemism here; cf. NAB, NRSV, TEV, NLT “penis”; NASB “male organ”; NCV “sex organ”; CEV “private parts”; NIV “emasculated by crushing or cutting.” http://www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm |
