Woman Is Possession of Man?

Woman is Property of Man
http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?p=731358
Genesis 2:15,18,21-22:
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to
dress it and to keep it.

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will
make him an help meet for him.

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and
he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.

After the woman caused the Fall of Man, God decided that this empty-
headed, easily deceived gender would be unmanageable if she was allowed
to make her own decisions and decide for herself how to live and whom to
marry. Therefore, God commanded the woman to submit to the rule of her
husband:

Genesis 3:16:
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be
to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

Ephesians 5:22-24:
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the
church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their
own husbands in every thing.

Colossians 3:18:
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the
Lord

The Bible then goes on to make clear that women arent really of the same
importance as men. To God, she is just part of the property of her husband,
like slaves and cattle:

Exodus 20:17:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox,
nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Deuteronomy 5:21:
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet
thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant,
his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Strangely enough, false Christians still deny that women should be seen as
property of men, even though it is in the Ten Commandments, one of the
few parts they do claim to follow!

Anyway, the Bible leaves no room for doubt. It is interesting in this respect
to study the laws against incest in Leviticus. You should not have intercourse
with your fathers wife. Why not? Because her body is not her own, but your
fathers. By having intercourse with her, you are damaging his property:

Leviticus 18:8:
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy
father's nakedness.

Thats right; the nakedness of your fathers wife is not her own nakedness at
all, over which she would be allowed to decide what to do with it. It is not
her, but your fathers nakedness. It is his property.

We see God repeating this important teaching a few times; sex with a
married woman is bad because you damage another mans property (the
body of a woman he owns):

Leviticus 18:16:
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy
brother's nakedness.

Leviticus 20:20-21:
And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath
uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

Deuteronomy 27:20:
Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his
father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Clearly, a womans nakedness is something that belongs to her husband
alone. He can exert legal rights over it.
In the Bible, men never ask women to marry them, they just take them:

Exodus 21:10:
If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of
marriage, shall he not diminish.

If anyone wants to marry a specific woman, it is a matter that should be
arranged by the man who desires her and the womans father (or her owner,
if she is a slave). Nowhere does the Bible ever require a womans consent
before marriage.

Take for example the history of the tribe of Benjamin, who lost all of their
women in a war, and then had to abduct women from Shiloh, to ensure
survival of their tribe. Do the Israelites ever bother to consider the opinions
or preferences of the girls? Of course not.

They do, however, consider possible complaints of their fathers and
brothers, as they are the parties that possess property rights over these
girls, and they should be negotiated with. This clearly shows that the giving
and taking of women is purely an issue among men, and women themselves
should not be allowed to have a say in the matter:

Judges 21:19-23:
Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a
place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway
that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in
wait in the vineyards;
And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in
dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his
wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to
complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our
sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did
not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to
their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went
and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in
them.

There are many ways of legally obtaining another wife. You can obtain a
woman, for example, by capturing her in a war:

Deuteronomy 21:11-14:
When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God
hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire
unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her
head, and pare her nails;
And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain
in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after
that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be
thy wife.
And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go
whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not
make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Judges 21:10-14:
And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest,
and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of
Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the
children.
And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male,
and every woman that hath lain by man.
And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young
virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought
them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin
that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which
they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they
sufficed them not.

This is one of the easiest ways, of course. Captive women wont cost you a
shekel; just take whatever woman you fancy.

It is also allowed to buy women as slaves. Hosea, a prophet of God, bought
a woman for fifteen pieces of silver and one and a half homer of barley. He
did this on Gods explicit instructions:

Hosea 3:1-3:
Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her
friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the
children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of
barley, and an half homer of barley:
And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play
the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.

A woman can also be obtained by purchasing her from her father, who is her
owner before marriage. Jakob, for example, bought two of his wives from his
uncle Laban by serving him fourteen years:

Genesis 29:20-21:
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but
a few days, for the love he had to her.
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that
I may go in unto her.

In marriage, it is the daughter that is given away by one party, and taken by
the other party. It is a simple transfer of property:

Deuteronomy 7:3:
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt
not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.

It is not the son that is taken or given away, but the daughter. Sons are
autonomous persons, who will become the owners of their own households
once they marry. Daughters arent.

Likewise, it is up to a man to decide what to do with his daughters.

We learn that Lot attempts to buy off a vicious, sex-crazed mob by offering
his daughters to them to do unto them as was good in their eyes. Lot was
a righteous man (2 Peter 2:7-8), and surely, a righteous man wouldnt do
this if he didnt have the right to:

Genesis 19:6-8:
And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me,
I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in
your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under
the shadow of my roof.

Lot is not the only one who gives away a woman to be raped, very likely
against her will. We see another example here:

Judges 19:22-25:
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city,
certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door,
and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the
man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto
them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that
this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will
bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth
good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine,
and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all
the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let
her go.

If a woman had any kind of right to her own body, she would have been
consulted first before her father or owner offered her to be raped like this.
As there is no indication that anyone did, we see that the property rights a
man has over a womans body even extends to these extremes; if a man
offers his daughter to be raped, it is within his right. Thats what the Bible
teaches.

Another fine example we can find in the laws against rape. If a man rapes a
woman who is neither married nor betrothed to anyone, he is to be
punished. How? Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I
pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these
men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. (Gen 19:8)

A liberal false Christian might start lamenting the gross infringement on the
girls rights, dignity and bodily integrity, stating that the girl should be
recompensed, but the Bible takes a different angle; the rapist should pay 50
shekels to the girls father:

Deuteronomy 22:28-29:
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay
hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty
shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled
her, he may not put her away all his days.

Why is this? Why isnt the girl recompensed in any way?

Of course, it is because not the girl, but her father is the real victim here,
because he loses a good opportunity to earn some money by giving away his
daughter to a man.

As she isnt a virgin anymore, she cant be used anymore for this purpose,
and like all other property-related crimes, the offender is required to
recompense the father for the damage he has caused, which is fifty shekels.

Sons are not property in the way daughters are. Sons cannot be sold as
slaves, but men can only become slaves by being captured in war, selling
himself or being born to a slave. A man can sell his daughter, though:

Exodus 21:7:
And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out
as the menservants do.

As a final note, we must realize that God treats women as property of their
husbands as well. It was God who gave David his wives:

2 Samuel 12:7-8:
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand
of Saul;
And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy
bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had
been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

And if people commit sins, God will give away their women to others, as He
does with their other possessions:

Jeremiah 6:12:
And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and
wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the
land, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 8:10:
Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them
that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest
is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one
dealeth falsely.

It is evident that women are created to be the property of a man.
Now are we aware of the position a women has in society according to the
Bible. Modern standards are radically different from the standards that are
prevalent to Israel, but our Soverign Elohim never changes (Malachi 3:6,
Hebrews 1:12, 13:8), and neither do His Laws (Psalm 119:89, Isaiah 40:8).

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for
women to speak in the church.

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned
themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the
word of God be not blasphemed.

1 Peter 3:7 | Read whole chapter | See verse in context
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the
wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your
prayers be not hindered.

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands
in every thing.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Jeremiah 29:6 | Read whole chapter | See verse in context
Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your
daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased
there, and not diminished.

Woman is property of man! This is a despised scriptural truth. The reason this truth is so
despised is because the minds of todays women have been poisoned with feminist ideas and
voices that tell her that SHE IS THE AUTHORITY! Woman IS NOT the authority! Woman I S
NOT the ruler! Woman I S NOT the master! Woman I S NOT the head! Woman is simply the
property of a man. She is either her fathers property or her husbands property. If she has no
father or no husband then she becomes the property of her eldest son. In the event she has no
son or her son is underage, she is the property of her nearest living male relative. The reality is
that most women today are owned by the state! They have left the care of their father, husband,
son, or nearest living male relative and by default become the property of the state.
There is no Hebrew word for wife. The Hebrew word is ishshah and it simply means
woman. A wife is simply a woman that is under the authority of a man that is not a blood
relative. She is this mans property or possession and he holds absolute authority over her in all
things. Woman is property of man ALWAYS! A woman MUST have the covering of a man at
all times during her life.
The sole purpose of a woman is to serve her man! Woman was created to be an helper for her
man, not a partner, not an equal, and not the master! A woman is in obedience to YHVH when
she is fruitful and lives in obedience to her man. In the past, we used to understand these
concepts, but today they have been forgotten.
Exodus 20:17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbours.
Deuteronomy 5:21
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbours wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbours house,
his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy
neighbours.
All the items listed above are a mans PROPERTY.
We are not to covet or lust after the PROPERTY OF ANOTHER MAN!
A mans property INCLUDES HIS WOMAN (OR WOMEN a man can have more than
one woman)
A man can own all of the above items, he can own women, menservants, maidservants,
fields, houses, oxen, and asses and he can own more than one of any of these things.
Leviticus 18:8
The nakedness of thy fathers wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy fathers nakedness.
A MAN is to never uncover the nakedness of his fathers wife (woman)
Why? Because it is his fathers nakedness.
The father here OWNS this woman. She is his property.
When her nakedness is uncovered it is a violation of the fathers property it is the
fathers nakedness. HE OWNS HER.
Numbers 30:6-8
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith
she bound her soul; 7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he
heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 8
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow
which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of
none effect: and YHVH shall forgive her.
A woman has a voice and can speak and bind her soul.
However, a father or a husband has the legal authority to allow or disallow her vows.
This is a clear example of AUTHORITY.
A father or a husband holds the authority over the women in his household.
Genesis 3:16
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou
shalt bring forth sons; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Man RULES OVER woman.
YHVH does not rule over woman.
Man serves YHVH. Woman serves her man.
A woman is to NEVER rule over a man.
This is true in the home, the workplace, our government, our churches, and our schools.
I saiah 3:12
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they
which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
There any MANY women today that need to REPENT! Women need to STOP trying to rule over
men! Women need to seek the protection and authority of a man. A woman MUST ALWAYS be
under the authority of a man. She MUST have a covering. When she tries to rule over a man
she is bringing a curse upon herself and her man. A woman has the potential to lead a man into
ERROR. She leads him in ways that are not the way of the Father YHVH. This is exactly what
happened in the Garden. Adam (the man) listened to the woman and ate of a tree that YHVH
had forbidden. The woman caused the man to disobey the clear commandment of YHVH. How
many women are guilty of this same thing today? A woman should encourage her man to obey
YHVH in ALL THINGS! She should not be enticing him to disobey the Father!
