Top Highlights

“Miriam herself played a significant role in three incidents described in Exodus and Numbers. As a child she was Moses’ sisterly protector. As an adult prophetess she led the delivered slaves in praising God. And as an unhappy woman she challenged Moses’ special relationship with God.” (Page 70)

“Hannah was a woman who for a long time could not enjoy her blessings. Her heart was so focused on having a son that nothing else seemed to matter. But life changed for Hannah when she surrendered the thing she wanted most to the Lord in a vow.” (Page 110)

“Strikingly, the thing that established the other judges as leaders in the sight of the people was that they were first of all military leaders who won victories over God’s enemies. Not so Deborah. Exercising her prophetic gift, she appointed a man to command Israel’s army.” (Pages 94–95)

“Both male and female are included in man. When the biblical text wishes to make a gender distinction, the word `ish is usually used of male human beings, and the word `issah is used of female human beings.” (Page 2)

“Zakar is used to assert maleness eighty-three times in the Old Testament, and nqebah is used twenty-two times to designate the female.” (Page 3)
