“The term feet euphemistically refers to the genitals of the seraphim.33” (Page 83)
“Paul’s convoluted logic or flawed argumentation but from the philological confusion of modern interpreters who fail to understand the ancient physiological conception of hair (κόμη) and confuse a testicle (περιβόλαιον) with a head covering. Ancient philology and physiology demonstrate that both Paul and the Corinthians probably comprehended quite well this cogent argument from nature for the veiling of women.” (Page 84)
“Song of Moses is a hymn that contains a covenant rîb.” (Page 421)
“Furthermore, as far as historical evidence allows, the impurity of childbirth could be removed only by a man. Apparently women in Israelite, Greek, and Roman tradition were not permitted to perform any kind of animal sacrifices.21 Israelite law required a male priest (as opposed to the father, for example) to perform the sacrificial rite. Although the new mother brought the offerings to the priest ‘at the entrance to the tent of meeting’ (Lev 12:6), only the priest could make the sacrifices and remove the pollution (Lev 12:7).” (Page 679)
“This conception of hair as part of the female genitalia explains the favorite Hippocratic test for sterility in women.” (Page 79)
