This is a great dig-down into the word ezer to bring out the term&#39;s power and strength. <br /><br />However, you translate &quot;kenegdo&quot; as &quot;suitable for him&quot; and this reading -- while the traditional one -- also a) runs against the way this term is used everywhere else in the Bible and b) has been used to bury women. The term has a soundly oppositional meaning -- this is the only (!) place in the Bible where the term is twisted this way to mean something quite different. I would love to see a treatment of kenegdo on your blog!<br /><br />Thanksjytdoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14159368481453152966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347107000995359188.post-24403304219347687272009-03-10T23:56:00.000-05:002009-03-10T23:56:00.000-05:00wow...i just finished reading your book "the gospel of ruth"...i was just kind of led to it at the bookstore, not really familiar with the story of ruth...only that the story involved a mother and daughter-in-law with no frame of reference of how they came to be. i noticed the use of the word "-ezer"...i clicked on the 4th or 5th result because the summary mentioned God and none of the other listings did...imagine, my surprise to see your name and photo on the blog...i was led to your writing again! what a blessing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347107000995359188.post-42789491924718144762008-10-04T21:04:00.000-05:002008-10-04T21:04:00.000-05:00Carolyn, I have been following your blog and Synergy Conference for some time. Your words are like soothing rain. Women of all ages need this post to understand their value and purpose. This sounds more like the heart of God than much of what I've read regarding women through the years...thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347107000995359188.post-75902037033895842562008-04-07T15:40:00.000-05:002008-04-07T15:40:00.000-05:00Carolyn - Your words ring true...like the lingering chime of real crystal. The scripture that comes to mind, "My sheep hear My voice..."<BR/>Thank you letting God use you to give back to His daughters that which was lost in the Fall. God bless you and may your tribe increase!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
