Today in #BriteBible: Ancient Israel's androcentric hierarchy is not true patriarchy with all males, or even all male heads of households holding power and authority over all women and children.
Rather, certain males (Moshe over Aaron, kings and priests over virtually all others) and occasionally certain females (reigning queens, e. g. Athaliah and some female prophets, e. g. Deborah and Huldah) held sway over all others. #BriteBible
Biblical Israel’s androcentric hierarchy should not be misidentified as misogynistic. Women were valuable contributors to society and preservers of the cultural heritage. #BriteBible
