Bible Question:
I cannot get your last reply. I thank you for your time. I am really interested in finding an easy to understand resource that explains these traditions. It makes the scriptures so much more interesting. I can't remember for sure, but I think that Beth Moore emphasized something about the exchangeing of sandels tradition. Again, thank you. |
Bible Answer: Try searching using the keywords: "levirate marriage" "chalitza" "yibbum" This type of marriage is based on Deuteronomy 25:5-10. In Judaism today remnants of the practice can still be found among Sephardi Jews. However, Ashkenazi Jews abolished the practice some time ago. |
