Bible Note: The term "pisses against the wall" is not a literal term. It is figurative. Could a female piss against the wall. Probably. If she was determined enough. Does every male piss against the wall? I hope not, for it would be a pretty smelly wall, but then it is more likely that it would be a mele who could, or would piss against the wall. True, the males hadn't personally done anything to David, but he was dertermined to cut off Nabal's blood line. One must understand the thinking of the day before they render a judgement concerning the actions of the individuals of that time. Please do not take offence, but I don't know where you get your "whole text in the original" from. It may be wonderful in the original you have, but I do not believe yours to be original anything, other than counterfeit, for there is no doubt in my mind that scripture is not as far from the original as you would have me believe. |
