Bible Question (short): widows rights |
Question (full): Thanks. I guess what I'm really wanting to know is the background behind those Bible verses. From the verses I've read about widows in the Bible it seems to me that God was concerned that they be looked after and not taken advantage of. So my question is, why was that nessasary? What rights did they have. The verses suggest that they lost rights when their husbands died. Could they run a business, own property etc. |
