Bible Question (short): What were the rights of widows? |
Question (full): What were the rights of widows in Bible times? It seems to me that through outthe whole Bible God is concerned that the widows be looked after and not taken advantage of. Is this because, without a husband they were more vulnerable, and didn't have so many rights if they were on their own? Did this change if they widowed but had a son? Can anyone claify for me what a widow could and couldn't do, and/or recommend any good materail on the subject. Thank you. |
