I don't think I've ever seen a sermon on this passage. I don't usually struggle with the accounts of war and judgment and other such things in the OT. (At least, not as much as other people seem to.) But this account has always horrified me and baffled me. Thank you for not shying away from it. I always appreciate how you give so much background information.

“Scripture commands men to create a culture of sacrifice and protection for the godly woman.” I pray I remember this comment. I pray I can create this culture in my family.

Thank you for taking a disturbing and baffling portion of Scripture and illuminating its meaning and significance so that we do not discard it as unnecessary to our understanding of the Bible.

Probably one of the darkest grim stories from the Bible. In losing a gay brother to Aids years past, I often considered about sending his ashes to politicians in 2014.

Thanks. Could it be what appears insignificant distractions in the story of the wayward Levite are parables of the condition of Israel's spiritual guides? The Levite is easily influenced and impressed upon by his surroundings- father in-law. Just as the Levites in general are "Canaanized". The heartless way the Levite treats his concubine a picture of the Levitical class unfeeling nature towards the spiritual care of Israel. Just thinking, thanks.

Congratulations reading such a completely degenerate passage! More churches need to read the bible to their congregations; not interpret it one passage here and one passage there, one passage at a time... The bible in context as a story is how evangelicals should be lead. These days there are Too many "feel-good" evangelicals pumped-up by out-of-context passages from popular evangelical movies books and preachers..

I get why people say the bible is sexist and anti women. From this to women also being forced to marry their rapist and other outrageous things that men just did to women simply because they could with little to no consequences.

Nobody was ever forced to marry their rapist. A rapst who took a betrothed women would face capital punishment, as would the man who had an 'affair' With a willing married woman. The key is that it's not just fornication but the violation of a covenant. The single woman in Exodus 21 is not lesser, she is just not in covenant with someone, so it is left to the father's discretion to judge whether or not she's Romeo to his Juliet, or of course refuse to give her to the man if he greyped her. Because it's possible for her to want to be with him even after the fact and it's also possible that she's a harlot who needs to be passed off to a man who's legally forced to provide for her , to get her out of dad's household for the protection of his other children. It simply isn't black and white. The text in 21 is ambivalent about consent or lack of consent, and of her or the man wanting or not wanting to marry. It leaves it to the father's discretion. Nothing in the passage mandates marriage in a sweeping way for all victims. Personally i think that's because the Author thinks ALL fornication entails some degree of deception and force, so there is not a difference in quality, only degree.

@@Yesica1993 oh I have it's in Deuteronomy. Maybe you should try reading it before throwing your false and pointless accusations like you know me. So many stories in the Bible that people question from a point of knowledge and wanting to understand if you can't contribute to it just keep it to yourself coz they add nothing to the conversation.
