WOMEN'S SPIRITUAL STATUS IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

Women's Spiritual Status in Holy Scriptures

This is certainly not a very pleasant topic for Women really. However, Just to bring to your awareness of the woman's part is of a functional nature in her divinely assigned role. Let us make a list of scripture to understand and bring about conviction in the Women's hearts. A women who is obedient, submissive and meek in nature are a blessing to her family and the Congregation she is serving. Well just in case some Man out there cannot resist tempting to know what is written in this page, here is a short message for them : Man ought not to abuse their rights over the Women. The Bible says:"Husbands, love your wives, even as Moshiach also loved the Assembly, and gave himself for it;" (Ephesians 5:25) and also "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." (1 Peter 3:7) Do the Husband find it hard to love your wife?

Read Vayikra 15 (Lev 15)

"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. (Beresheet 3:16)

Each recipient of Elohim's judgment receives a judgment, which is not necessarily related to the nature of the sin committed. Sin has alienated the intimacy between Elohim and man, as well as the intimacy between man and woman. However, the alienation does not change the woman's desire for the man, nor does it eliminate the man's headship over the woman or remove the command to populate the earth. This alienation does distort Elohim's plan, and this verse clearly describes the conditions existing in a fallen world, i.e., pain in childbirth, tyranny in headship, and rebellion in submission. The "desire factor" is an explanation of existing conditions after the Fall. The judgment upon the woman is certainly not found in childbirth, which has always been Elohim's plan for producing the next generation, but rather in the difficulties that will accompany the bearing of children. Elohim's continued grace is evident, however, when redemption comes through the woman's childbearing (cf. 1 Tim. 2:15, note).
Vayikra 12:2-5
"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a MALE child: then she shall be unclean 7 DAYS; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying 33 days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. But if she bear a FEMALE child, then she shall be unclean 2 WEEKS, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying 66 days."
Ecclesiastics 7:26-28 "And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases Elohim will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare....while I was still searching but not finding, I found one upright man among a thousand but not one upright woman among them all".
Why is Menstruation of the woman consider unclean? It is associated with death

The reason of Menstruation of women consider unclean it is associated with death. The dead body of a human being is the strongest form of "tuma" because it represents the greatest loss of spiritual potential. Similarly, the unfertilized egg, aborted foetus, accidental miscarriage,still birth that are shed during menstruation or sever bleeding are also a form of tuma because it could have housed a soul if it had been fertilized. Never again will the minuscule egg have the opportunity to become a human being and carry the amazingly complex human soul. The state of tuma, the state resulting from contact with death, is not a negative thing. If a person buries a dead person, he too becomes tamei (adjective form). He is not contaminated; in fact, burying a dead body is such an important mitzvah that it takes precedence over almost all others (Maimonides, Yad HaChazkah, Laws of Mourners, 14:9; Shulchan Aruch, "Escorting the Dead," 361:1). Thus, being tamei is most certainly not a state of spiritual inferiority. It means only that the person involved cannot participate in certain rituals.
