Bible Note: It seems to me that if this is so, Paul would not have told the women to ask their husbands at home. I looked up "laleo" 2980 in Strongs and it has all the things that you quoted with the exception of "means an extended or radom harangue." Where did this come from? I can't find anywhere where "laleo" means "an extended or random harangue." Theyer defines "laleo" as 1) to utter a voice or emit a sound 2) to speak 2a) to use the tongue or the faculty of speech 2b) to utter articulate sounds 3) to talk 4) to utter, tell 5) to use words in order to declare one’s mind and disclose one’s thoughts 5a) to speak That's a long way from "an extended or random harangue." The women were evidently asking questions in the assembly (where did you get "house" churches?) They were to keep silent. The place where they did not have to keep silent was at home. |
