Bible Question (short): Offerings of Proverbs 7 adulteress? |
Question (full): In Proverbs 7:14-15 the adulteress (of verse 5) mentions having offered peace offerings to fulfill her vows. Is this her way of offering her victim a "steak" dinner (lamb shank or some meat) so he will come home with her? My understanding is that when peace offerings were offered, the people who offered ate the meat at the temple. Or was that only the priestly families? Also in verses 19-20 she says that her husband is on a business trip and won't be back for a long time. How was she able to make an offering without his help? Were women able to make offerings on their own without a male relative? |
