male, female equality
Posted on February 1st, 2009 by Brenna Phillips
I recently finished reading the Book of Job, and I read an interesting point at the end of the book, end of chapter 42.
God blessed Job’s later life even more than his earlier life. In addition to his 7 sons, he also had 3 daughters of whom there was not a woman in that country as beautiful. Their father treated them as equals with their brothers, providing the same inheritance.
I found that to be an interesting point to note since Job is known to have been written around the time of Abraham in Genesis when females were not so much looked upon as male equals, as the males were the ones to carry on the family name.
