Just Deuteronomy 21: 10-13 Analysis

The story of the Concubine of a Levite in Judges 19-20 may be one of the harshest examples of female objectification throughout the Bible. The story takes place during a period without a monarch. It begins with the Levite Husband leaving his home to fetch his concubine who fled to her father 's home in Gibeah. This story showcases the brutal rape of a nameless woman.

But no wonder if a fool should fall for a female and be wiped of his wits by a womanly guile—it’s the way of the world. Adam fell for a woman and Solomon for several, and as for Samson, Delilah was his downfall, and afterwards David was bamboozled by Bathsheba and bore the grief. All wrecked and ruined by their wrongs; if only we could love our ladies without believing their lies. And those were fellows from fortunate families, excellent beyond all others existing under heaven, yet all were charmed and changed by wily womankind. I suffered just the same, so clear me of my crime.

It is quite clear is that the main virtue of the “good” women is bearing sons to notable (or divine) men, while the crimes of the “bad” women are against their husbands or sons.

This biblical event was used as an encompassing example of the negative nature of women as well as their role in life. It also explicitly states that women are to submit to their husbands. This attitude of submission to male authority was expected from women in all circumstances.

Women like her must know her place, which is within the confines of the church, to serve only God, not one’s girlish desires. A warrant for her detainment will begin processing in the upcoming weeks; she will be an example of what happens when women are given too much freedom to think for themselves and not enough time to conduct proper

To begin with, she pointed out examples of how women are treated unfairly in society. She began to point out several double standards. The wife states, “about accused Lamech’s bigamy? Abraham was a holy man I know, And as I understand it Jacob also; And each of them had wives now, more than one, as many other holy men have done.” (61-65) Here, she shows that there is truly a double standard for women who behave in an exact manner as men.

Deuteronomy 6: 4-8 is arguably the most important verses in the Bible because it’s telling us how to worship God. In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses knows that he is going to die soon, not getting to enter the land that the Lord promised to the Israelites. So he gathers the people around and begins to tell them the story of God and all that he has done for the Israelites. He reminds them of Egypt, and how when the Israelites cried out to him God came and saved them. And he reminds them of how they had sinned against the Lord. He recounts their travels in the wild’s after their defeat at the hands of the Amorites and tells them how the Lord was with them. Finally he comes to what is referred to as the Shema in Deuteronomy 6. These verses are called the Shema because of how they start off with the word “Hear”. Shema is the Hebrew word

For the Text Analysis Paper, I chose the topic of Human Equality, the passage given was Exodus 21 20:21. I was very interested in discovering what the Old Testament had to say in regard to human equality. There were other places in the Bible that discussed human equality that I wish I could’ve pulled but, I found plenty of other valuable sources as well. A few of the passages I found that helped express human equality in the Old Testament was in Leviticus, Proverbs, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Genesis. A couple of the verses that stuck out to me was from Numbers 15 15:16 it says, “For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a statute forever throughout your generations.

The whole book of Deuteronomy is telling the story of a people that made a deal with God. They made promises to serve him according to the way that he wanted to be served. Deuteronomy laid out all the wonderful things that would happen to them if they were obedient and kept their promises. It also laid out what would happen if they did not keep their promise. It was pretty harsh too.

Discuss the significance of the books of Exodus-Deuteronomy as they move the storyline from Genesis forward.

Hebrews is a beloved book of the Bible that offers the vigor of academic arguments, historical and cultural treasures, inspiration through the supremacy of Christ, as well as encouragement for those who are struggling in their faith and practical instruction. However, one of the temptations is to take the mandates found in the text of Hebrews 13:1-5 and limit it to a specific history and cultural context based on several seemingly obscure phrases including entertaining angles, undefiled marriage beds, and living as if one was in prison or being tortured but in reality nothing could not be further from the truth. Hebrews 13:1-5 offers an immensely practical list of ways to witness to a culture that is hostile to Christians through caring for

Asleep in the forest, after facing the god’s wrath at sea, I finally woken at morning by cries of the island’s people. I sat there in my bed leaves, wondering about the source of the cry, intrigued by the cry. I pondered if the people here were hospitable or hostile, and surely, if I could survive the sea, I could survive an attack, but my body is sore and covered in brine, for who would not turn away at the sight of a shabby man? Yet, I knew the more I waited around contemplating about these inhabitants, they would leave, so I stood up and prowled into the bushes, using an olive branch to cover my manhood, making my way out of the bushes. Beautiful, young women. Their skin soft and delicate, eyes like goddesses with captivating faces, sadly, this pretty sight did not last long.

There were at least 3 views of how the Old Testament was composed which include the critical view, the compositional view, and the common view. Each view was somewhat similar and different in the aspects that gave it it's own characteristics. The main point of this discussion is to focus on the similarities and differences of each view which are but not limited to how the bible was created, the process, and design.

In Stations of Desire, by Michael A. Sells the idea of gender and mysticism can be uniquely seen throughout the small novel. The majority of his writing being love poems, examines several relationships, person to person, creator to creation, and object to object. Specifically we focus on one reading in particular ‘Hadith of Love’. Through the several love based texts, it creates a definite picture of the specific gender roles and rankings of the time, both for female and male. In Hadith of Love we see the relationship between God and Arabi. In reading the text, we see that it is a narration of the self, from Arabi’s point of view, describing his overwhelming amount of love for his God. Although not frankly stating that Arabi is male, we can

Bramimonde’s unacceptable qualities which are expressed in her shrewdness and loquaciousness are reflected within these Saracen women through their sexual seduction. These women are not normal seducers, but they are “active” ones who have medical and magical knowledge, which is the source of their sexual confidence. Unlike the texts of the eighteenth century which view Muslim women’s sexuality as an object for man’s happiness , and which is condemned by their severe religion, Muslim women’s sexuality in medieval texts is a proof of her shameful liberty which her immoral religion* permits. As Robert Young argues, “The identification of racial with sexual degeneracy was clearly always overdetermined in those whose subversive bronzed bodies bore witness to a transgressive act of perverse
