In this article, I look at 4 passages from the Hebrew Bible (Leviticus 27, Numbers 30, Ecclesiastes 7:28, Isaiah 3:12) which are sometimes used to diminish women.
Who were the women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting and what did they do? Did their service involve religious rituals?
Bible women were involved in the life of their community, some as wailing women and as celebrants (cf. Psalm 68). What was the purpose of this public role?
Would you like to support my ministry of encouraging mutuality and equality between men and women in the church and in marriage?
