re: #190 Obdicut

I never understood why it was seen as a good thing for her to stay a virgin. Nobody was ever really able to explain it to me. I mean, she had a husband. It wouldn’t have been adultery. In fact, according to Jewish law, she and Joseph were candidates for divorce.

It was a politically and theologically necessary thing for her to be a virgin. It certainly had nothing at all to do with the scriptures.
