Part 5/8 How And Why GOD Created The Woman?
Note that all general claims and observations by Holy Land Man refer to the vast majority of 70-90% and never to the 100% and so the assertion that “women are…” never refers to 100% but to 70-90%.
Holy Land Man states that the Bible gave us plenty of data about marriage and part of being a wife. During those times, the primary role of women in Israelite society was to have children, because it is a great disgrace for a woman to be childless:
‘But Abram said, Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless with her current wife: Sarah and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” (Genesis 15:2)
In the original Hebrew Bible, the worth of a young unmarried woman was attached to her beauty and to her virginity, and this was tied to her future role as a mother. Virginity was essential in the perspective of young brides, that once a woman is married, her beauty was still prized but so was her fertility.
Beautiful Women found in the Bible
In the Hebrew Bible, it conveys the idea that a woman is admirable, often described as beautiful:
- The daughters of humans
“the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.” (Genesis 6:2)
- Sarah
“It came about when he [came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman; It came about when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.” (Genesis 12:11,14)
- Rebekah
“The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.” (Genesis 24:16)
- Rachel
“Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel had a lovely figure and was beautiful.” (Genesis 29:17)
- Bathsheba
“One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful” (2 Samuel 11:2)
- Tamar
“In the course of time, Amnon son of David fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of Absalom son of David. Three sons and a daughter were born to Absalom. His daughter’s name was Tamar, and she became a beautiful woman.” (2 Samuel 13:1; 14:27)
- Esther
“Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah, whom he had brought up because she had neither father nor mother. This young woman, who was also known as Esther, had a lovely figure and was beautiful. Mordecai had taken her as his own daughter when her father and mother died.” (Esther 2:7)
- Job’s daughters
“Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.” (Job 42:15)
