TOP 4 DID YOU KNOW FOR THE WOMEN ( Ahkotees)
#1 Did You Know:
Birth pains & your husband ruling over you all comes from Eve ( Hawwah) sinning in the garden of Eden?
It's a lot of things that females go through in life, especially the righteous ahkotess of Yah. It's a hard enough task trying to maneuver through the day righteously; when you're surrounded by so many unrigteous people and things. But unfortunately, giving birth is no exception. Birth wasn't always suppose to be painful. But due to Eve ( Hawwah) allowing satan to turn her heart away from Yah and sinning in the garden of Eden, A smooth and uncomplicated birth would be nothing more than a dream. Let's take a look at how Eve ( Hawwah) changed the birth process forever for the Ahkotees! Let's first take a look at what lead Yah to bestow this curse on Eve ( Hawwah).
Gen 3: 1-13 1.And the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which Yah had made, and he said to the woman, “Is it true that Yah has said, ‘Do not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 2.And the woman said to the serpent, “We are to eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, 3.but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yah has said, ‘Do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.’ ” 4.And the serpent said to the woman, “You shall certainly not die. 5.“For Yah knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be like Yah, knowing good and evil.” 6.And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, and she took of its fruit and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7.Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves. 8.And they heard the sound of Yah walking about in the garden in the cool of the day, and Aḏam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yah among the trees of the garden. 9.And Yah called unto Aḏam and said to him, “Where are you?” 10.And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.” 11.And He said, “Who made you know that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” 12.And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree and I ate.” 13.And Yah said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
But not only did Yah curse eve and all the women of the earth with birth pains because of her sin. He also made it so that the man would rule over her. It all plays out in the following verse :
Gen 3: 16 To the woman He said, “I greatly increase your sorrow and your conception – bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your husband, and he does rule over you.” Let's take a look at a few more instances of birth pains in scripture
John 16: 21 “The woman has grief (pain) when she is in labour, because her hour has come, but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the affliction, for joy that a man was born into the world.
But one of the most prominent moments of birth pains came during the birth of Our fore-father Yahcob ( Jacob) and his brother Esau. Even though Rebekas birth pains came from her two twin sons fighting in her womb. It's still symbolic for the pains of conception.
Gen 25: 21- 23 And Yitshaq prayed to Yah for his wife, because she was pregnant. And Yah answered his prayer, and Ribqah his wife conceived. 22And within her the children struggled together, and she said, “If being barren is a blessing, why am I in so much pain?” So she went to ask Yah 23 And Yah said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your body #2. Did You know:
When a woman is on her Menstrual, anything she touches, sits on or comes in contact with is Unclean?
That's right , Ahkotees! When that time comes around, it makes you a very unclean person. So much so, that anything you touch becomes just as unclean as you. In fact, in some righteous households, when the women is on her menstrual, she doesn't even sleep in the same bed as her husband due to her being unclean.
Levi 15: 21 'Anyone who touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening" Lev 15: 24 'If a man actually lies with her so that her menstrual impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean
Let's now take a look in scripture to see just what father Yah says about this
Lev. 15:19-33 19 'When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days ; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. 20 'Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean. 21 'Anyone who touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 22 'Whoever touches any thing on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 23 'Whether it be on the bed or on the thing on which she is sitting, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening. 24 'If a man actually lies with her so that her menstrual impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean. 25 'Now if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days, not at the period of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond that period, all the days of her impure discharge she shall continue as though in her menstrual impurity ; she is unclean. 26 'Any bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her like her bed at menstruation ; and every thing on which she sits shall be unclean, like her uncleanness at that time. 27 'Likewise, whoever touches them shall be unclean and shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 28 'When she becomes clean from her discharge, she shall count off for herself seven days ; and afterward she will be clean. 29 'Then on the eighth day she shall take for herself two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them in to the priest, to the doorway of the tent of meeting. 30 'The priest shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. So the priest shall make atonement on her behalf before Yah because of her impure discharge.' 31 "Thus you shall keep the sons of Israel separated from their uncleanness, so that they will not die in their uncleanness by their defiling My tabernacle that is among them." 32 This is the law for the one with a discharge, and for the man who has a seminal emission so that he is unclean by it, 33 and for the woman who is ill because of menstrual impurity, and for the one who has a discharge, whether a male or a female, or a man who lies with an unclean woman. #3. Did You Know:
That if you divorce your husband and re-marry another man, you can never re-marry your ex husband again?
That's right, Ahkotees! Doing that is a Thou Shall Not! Let's take a look at why father Yah calls this an abomination!
Deuteronomy 24: 1-4 Deu 24:1 “When a man takes a wife and shall marry her, then it shall be, if she finds no favour in his eyes because he has found a matter of uncoveredness in her, and he shall write her a certificate of divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house, Deu 24:2 and if she left his house and went and became another man’s wife, Deu 24:3 and the latter husband shall hate her and write her a certificate of divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house, or when the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife, Deu 24:4 then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled, for that would be an abomination before YAH. And do not bring sin on the land which YAH is giving you as an inheritance. #4.Did You Know:
That your husband is allowed to have numerous wives and concubines?
Yes, Ahkotees this is true! I purposely saved this for last because I didn't want women dropping off before reading the full top 4. Your husband is allowed to have numerous wives. In fact, most righteous men in scripture had numerous wives & concubines. Most notably King Solomon, who had 700 wives and 300 concubines . What's a Concubine? A Concubine is a women in a covenant with a man, but not a wife. However, she still falls into the confounds of a convenant. Rather it's a sexual concubine convenant or a righteous 'covering' concubine covenant. Since I know few of you may have a ton of questions concerning this arrangement; such as, " If a man's allowed to have wives and concubines then how can a man cheat? " or "If a man can have numerous wives how can a man commit adultrey?" And because of those questions, there will be a more in depth blog coming soon to breakdown and explain it all.-Yah willing! But for now, let's take a look at a few verses concerning numerous wives, concubines, etc...
Exodus 21: 10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
2 Samuel 5:13 ( King Dawid had numerous wives & concubines as well) 13 And Dawid took more concubines and wives from Yerushalayim, after he had come from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born to Dawid. 1 Chronicles 3:9 ( Dawid had kids with his concubines just as he did with his wive(s) It's true Ahkotees, your husbands are allowed to do that) 9. all the sons of Dawiḏ, besides the sons of the concubines, and Tamar their sister. ( Again, a concubine is a women in a convenant with a man, but he did not wan't her as a wife. He has the same authority over her just as he does to his wife) 14:3: King David had six wives and numerous concubines. 1 Kings 11:3: King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. 2 Chronicles 11:21: And Rehab‛am loved Ma‛akah the granddaughter of Abshalom more than all his wives and his concubines. For he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and brought forth twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. Deuteronomy 21:15 “When a man has two wives, one loved and the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved, and the first-born son is of her who is unloved, Thank you for reading! Yah bless & Shalom!
