Subject: How much money to purchase a good wife? |
Bible Note: Roger, I find these two short little verses to be quite intriguing. They are also filled with vast implications when compared against each other. The first verse reference that you provide seems to say that a godly and virtuous woman is above and beyond the value of any dollar amount. An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. (Proverbs 31:10 NAS95) While the second verse reference that you provide seems to display that a lowly whore can be bought and sold for money. So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley. (Hosea 3:2 NAS95) RS |
