Bible Note: Hi Makarios-Thx for reply--I think you are "worried " about the word--"despise"--in this context it means-"have no respect for" or will not obey--in that culture-a woman who was owned and would not "obey" was stoned--BUT--this was a queen--others would follow---THIS frightened these men---as it frightens many men today----Male and female created He them--"Let us create man in OUR image"-in HIM--Angel1--MKM9 |
