Bible Question: In Ecclesiastes 3:5, what does "a time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones" mean? |
Bible Answer: Hello valarie, I found an interesting comment on this verse. "There is an age-old Jewish interpretation of the book that correctly reports that 'casting away stones' refers to sexual intercourse. Gathering stones then means that a man abstains from intercourse with a woman."--J. A. Loader in Reflecting with Solomon, edited by Roy B. Zuck. Steve |
