Bible Question: I am doing some research about women teaching scripture to men and the question came up what does the bible say about boys becoming of age and at what age do they do this. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Melvie... That depends on what you mean. There are various ages cited. A Levite, for example, could not enter priestly service until he was 30 years of age. Jewish tradition in the 11th century started the bar mitzvah idea, citing the age of majority as 13. Of course, this latter idea is not strictly scriptural. Consequently, I'm not certain that there is answer to your question... at least, not one that is both Biblical and definitive. In Him, Doc |
