Women Empowerment in the Old Testament

Although historical women have been described as weak in both men and women, they can not protect themselves and can not oppose equally to male peers. As a troublemaker, they were tagged throughout history, and perhaps these women are just about to exercise their power. Of course, their power is not seen in their physical strength, but this power comes from deeper sources, they are the essence of sexual life. Old Testament women such as Eve, Rhodes' daughter, Potifaru's wife, Delilah are considered "scandals" throughout history.

The two books of the Old Testament were named after women. In particular, given the low level of women in the culture in which Jesus lives, women are more respectful in the New Testament and play a more prominent role (Matthew 5: 32; 1 Corinthians 11: 11-12; Galatians ) 3: 28; Ephesus 5: 25 - 33. There are 21 famous women in the New Testament. The Bible teaches that the character of women is different from men, but the New Testament promotes women in many ways. "My husband, as Christ loves the church, please love your wife, make Our Lady, wash it with water, cleanse it, and offer her as a brilliant church Similarly, my husband, as their body, You should love your wife, those who love their wives love themselves. "

Many of the women in the Old Testament were named for the important religious status of the prophets: Miriam, Deborah, Hada, Wife of Isaiah, and Noah. (93) Psalm whose composition is attributable to women is one of the oldest religious documents in Israel. (94) The female saint was also mentioned in the Old Testament. (95) However, women are completely excluded from Israeli pastor's religious position. According to Torah, women are impure between menstruation and childbirth. After my daughter was born, they mean twice after my son was born. Any contact with women at the moment will make men filthy at the ceremony. Women are also considered to contaminate objects they touch. In the tradition of Judaism priesthood and temple worship, the purity of the ritual is very important. One of the main reasons why women were excluded from priesthood and wholly involved in the worship of the temple is ritual impurities that are frequent.
