1 | Were the laws harder on women | Bible general Archive 2 | vessels | 153951 | ||
I've been reading the One year bible as of January 2005. My question is why does it seem like judgements were and maybe are particulary harsh for women? Reading through the laws and prohibitions in the old testament women seem like they were getting the short end of the stick more so than the men. Did God really set it up that way? If so, does anyone know why? | ||||||
2 | Were the laws harder on women | Bible general Archive 2 | Yonose | 153952 | ||
Please excuse me for my ignorance, but I don't exactly understand what you're saying. God protected women in almost every circumstance under his law. In adultery, the betrothed woman and or a virgin is protected under the law where she would otherwise be put to death in Deut. 22:23-24. Women are granted justice in miscarriage caused by someone else in Exodus 21:22. Men who raped betrothed women were put to death (Deut. 22:25-27. However, men who raped unattached women were only required to pay a fine and propose marriage to the victim (which I find somewhat odd)(Exodus 22:16-17;Deut. 2:28-29). Widows were treated with care and given oppurtunities to preserve their self-respect (Deut. 24:14-15, 19-22). Women were also gratnted the right to divorce their husbands who had committed adultery. They were granted respect and care during their menstrual period as to not allow sexual relations between man and wife. Now, as for Pharisees and how they, well, "edited" God's law and added their own interpretations to it, I can easily see how women would have been and were "slided" through the Pharisees sexist attitudes and selfishness. Alrighty then, Please excuse any confusing items you find in this, it's hard having ADD while you're still a teenager. |
