Your helpful Bible verse of the day

[charlie]

¹¹If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, ¹²you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

1. Oh THAT'S what you're supposed to do.

My wife and I were arguing about this very scenario over the weekend. Shoulda consulted the bible - it's got an answer for EVERYTHING!

2. Sound and timely, eh?

Our 'nads enjoy The Lord's protection, yay.

She'll probably have noticed she's free to take a bat to you, though. My missus did. You'll probably want to talk it over in advance ("Aim for the OTHER guy, fer chrissakes!").

3. I see you use a perverse translation.

4. I had to take a look at the King James version:

¹¹ When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
¹² Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

5. I have been mulling this verse over...

why are these two men "fighting" in the nude? Sounds like there may be more to this story, and the wife may be a "beard" :)

6. Who is the wife grabbing here?

It's not entirely clear if it's her husband or the other guy.

Also, who is supposed to cut off her hand? These questions need answers.
