Bible Question: in what way did Abraham, Isaac and Jacob show respect for women |
Bible Answer: According to Judaism 101 , which is an online encyclopedia of Judaism, Women have held positions of respect in Judaism since biblical times. Miriam is considered one of the liberators of the Children of Israel, along with her brothers Moses and Aaron. One of the Judges (Deborah) was a woman. Seven of the 55 prophets of the Bible were women According to traditional Judaism, women are endowed with a greater degree of "binah" (intuition, understanding, intelligence) than men. The rabbis inferred this from the fact that woman was "built" (Gen. 2:22) rather than "formed" (Gen. 2:7), and the Hebrew root of "build" has the same consonants as the word "binah." Men and women were both created by God, for His purpose. They were created seperate, but equal. One has strengths where the other has weaknesses and vice-versa, so thatneither could be complete without the other. It is my belief that men and women made the same mistakes in the OT that they do in the NT, proving that the players only change, -the game remains the same. Respectfully yours, Tim |
