Leviticus 12:5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.
Some translations sound more along the lines of "and she shall remain in her bleeding/blood".
I repeat, what makes you think they sat in it.
Blood is blood though, and apparently women of old just sat in it until it stopped. Which is really gross.
Partly common sense, no tampons, I doubt they sat over a chamber pot the whole time. I mean, what could they do besides have a spare rag and hope they don't bleed through it?
I imagine they did have cloth that was used for that sole purpose which is not what I see as just sitting it in it like you said.
Legs for crawling, no.
The only difference with some beetle like insects are the mouth parts, like the Planthopper, which does leap with it's hind legs. Besides, the Hebrew word "beetle" means "leaping or jumping insect". Not the beetle in our classification system.
Is it your contention to misread something in order to try to point out some invisible error so you can say that is the reason God isn't real?
I'm saying God isn't real because I count six legs on grasshoppers now? Gosh!
Why are you arguing then?
Because the Bible isn't scientifically accurate, nor is it literally correct. To insist otherwise lessens it's message, and, frankly, drives people away from Christianity.
English. Same as youAre you reading the original Hebrew or a translation to the lesser english language?
The bible is accurate. I am insisting nothing. I am simply explaining that there is no error where you think there is.
English. Same as you
*eyeroll*
English is not the same language as Hebrew. Hebrew is much more meaningful and elaborate.
Uh-huh. And you've read the Bible in the original Hebrew have you? Including the bits originally written in Greek, I suppose.
Why are you arguing then?
You are counting six appendages on a grasshopper. If you applied that to a human, a human has four limbs. Both are correct.
The bible specifies four limbs for walking. Just as it would specify two limbs on a human for walking. You would not try to argue then that a human has four limbs, when I specified "walking". It would be childish to try to say a human can walk on his hands so has four limbs for walking.
Anyone can plainly see that a grasshoppers back legs are very different and used differently than it's front legs. The Bible is extremely accurate and true in the passages on insects.
Its not just grasshoppers that are counted as having four legs.
Lev 11:23
23 "But all other winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you.
NASU
Lets hear you parse Leviticus 11:23, please.
Four footed is not four legged. Humans are two footed but have four limbs that could be used to be four footed.
There is really nothing to analyze.
I know that, I was using the poster's own vernacular to more easily prove a point. The 'apes' in question were the ones who existed before humans, I thought you'd have gathered that. The point was, the ape in the picture is like a gorilla, and gorillas are not humans. Evolution, by definition, means 'the gradual development of something'.
