Bible Question:
Ok, yes, they could have worn them. My original question was "Why in the world would they WANT to wear them?" Imagine wearing a pair of jeans or teashirt from someone who was put to death at a state prison the night before. How would you feel wearing those items? I'd feel pretty creepy. As for blacks and slaves lynched in the past, look at the clothes that are dangling from their bodies. They are rotten rags, unsuitable for wearing. Daniel |
Bible Answer: Daniel One thought is it showed how tough they were ... another is transferance; they would get some of His good stuff Searcher |
