What is the Hebrew word for "wife" in the context of Genesis 4:1, and what does it imply about her role?

Image
  The Hebrew word used for "wife" is _'ishshah_ / _ish-shaw_, literally meaning: "woman, wife, female." What 'Ishshah' Implies About Her Role in Genesis 4:1 1) PARTNER: _'Ishshah'_ was derived from _'iysh'_, which literally means a man. She is of the exact kind as the man, his matching or connected partner. Who then is a partner? A partner is someone that you do the following with: (1) A person you are married to. (2) A person you are having a sexual relationship with within the boundaries of marriage. (3) A co-owner of your business, properties, and wealth, and you share the dividends thereof between each other. (4) A person that you are doing an activity with. (5) A person you are in agreement with.

WHY DID RACHEL STOLE THE GODS OF HER FATHER'S HOUSE

Image
 INTRODUCTION She stuffed them under her.   Small statues. Wood, clay, and metal. The "gods" of her father’s house.   And with one act of theft in the dark, Rachel didn’t just take idols.   She took inheritance. She took authority. She took security.   In _Genesis 31_, we meet a woman caught between two worlds: the God of her husband, and the gods of her father.   What drove her to do it? And what does her choice reveal about the "teraphim" we’re still hiding in our own saddles today? That’s from _Genesis 31_ — Rachel stealing Laban’s "household gods" / teraphim. Rachel stole her father Laban’s idols when Jacob was sneaking away from Haran with his wives, kids, and livestock. Why she likely did it — 3 main reasons scholars talk about: 1. PROTECTION AND INHERITANCE RIGHTS   In that culture, whoever had the household gods was seen as the rightful heir and head of the family. Possessing the household gods is simply possessing...

HOW TO GET WEALTH AS A CHRISTIAN

Image
  Gold and silver belong to God; it is God who gives the power to gain wealth and wealth to men. However, your mindset may be what hinders God from releasing these blessings. Transformation through the word of God signals to God that you are ready to manage His wealth. If God were to give you wealth without you being transformed, it could destroy you.  Psalm 1 clearly explains how wealth can come to a man without sorrow and destruction: **Psalms 1:1-6 (NLT)**   1. Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.   2. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.   3. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.   4. But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.   5. They will be condemned at the time of judgment; ...
