Bible Question:
Isaiah prophesied that _____ women would take hold of one man? |
Bible Answer: Greetings cryst9m, I believe you are referring to: Isa 3:25 Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty ones in battle. Isa 3:26 And her gates will lament and mourn, And deserted she will sit on the ground. Isa 4:1 For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!" The division of the chapters has interrupted the prophet’s discourse, and broken it off almost in mid sentence. “The numbers slain in battle shall be so great, that seven women shall be left to one man.” The prophet has described the greatness of this distress. The young women, contrary to their natural modesty, shall become suitors to the men: they will take hold of them, and press the men to marry them. In spite of the natural suggestions of jealousy, they will be content with a share only of the rights of marriage in common with several others; and that on hard conditions, renouncing the legal demands of the wife on the husband (*) and begging only the name and credit of wedlock, and to be freed from the reproach of celibacy. (*) Exo 21:10 "If he takes to himself another woman, he may not reduce her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights. compudex |
