Women in the Bible

My Notes from Thursday's lecture on Women in the Bible:

God...
-created the heavens, the Earth, animals, landmarks, etc...
-pulling a rib out of Adam symbolizes the taking away of femininity 

Eve- The Mother of all living

Gender: Who plays the role of the masculine?
 The feminine seems to interfere 
 Ex) 2 men in a brawl, if the wife of one of the men grabs the opponents 'genitals' her hand would be cut off.

Levite: Judges 19:
-Rules of hospitality are the same as the rules of gender 
-Protecting his guests (property of the Levite-women/concubine) of all costs

*The wrong was done to the Levite-not the woman (even though she was butchered and her limbs sent to all the territories of Israel)

Testicles...testaments =cognates!!

Cultic Purity: How to worship and how to do it correctly

Questions about the Bible (For Thursday's Quiz):

1.) Who wrote the Bible?
