I do not want to go into the story of Sakineh. This blog is not intended to comment on daily events, however important they are.
This blog seeks to offer insights on the Word (Old and New Testament).
start from Sakineh But today, because what is happening to this woman, aroused in me the memory of the consideration enjoyed by the woman at the time of Jesus and some examples:
Ex 20: 17: "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his manservant nor the ... his ass, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor. " Here the woman is considered of lesser value of the house and the same way as the slave or donkey.
Also in the spoils of war, women were listed after donkeys: "The booty consisted of ... ... sessantunmila thirty-two thousand donkeys and women" (Nm 31, 32)
Or read the book of Sirach Chapter 42, verse 14: "better the wickedness of a man that the goodness of a woman, a woman who brings shame to the mockery " and chapter 25, verse 24: " From a woman sin had its beginning, because of her we all die. "
Here! This is just a small example. Fortunately, Jesus has turned these ideas very macho. I'll talk in a future post.
