Bible Question: who's the 1st female to commit adultry? |
Bible Answer: The word 'wickedness' is usually considered to be linked with sexual perversion. So while the names of the people, in the rest of the wicked world, at the times of Noah's flood are unknown of, the world was destroyed because of how 'wicked' the people had become (Genesis chapter 6 verse 5) (Sodom was destroyed because of sexual wickedness (Genesis chapter 19). Verses 4 and 5 describe the wickedness. Verse 7 Lot says "No, my friends. Don't do this 'wicked' thing.") But, that doesn't tell us who the first female was to commit adultry. So we have to consider one of the following two. Hagar or Lot's daughters. Sari sent Hagar to lie with Abram (Genesis 16: 1-4) would be the first recorded instance that I know of. While Lot's daughters got Lot drunk and took advantage of the situation (Genesis 19:30-36) Now in those days of the OT it is recorded in many, many places where it was the custom for men to have many wives. That might just allow Hagar 'off the hook' as we in the modern world might say it. I can't answer that question, only God, who was there, could answer that question. (He's everywhere. Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.) That would then let the hammer fall on the unnamed daughters of Lot. (At least in the verses I quoted they are not named. At some place where there is a bunch of genology, I sometimes have a hard time reading reading them, but instead I skip over it. Maybe Hank could clue me in if I'm wrong here.) |
