The Bible tells us that a female is worth 30 shekels about $9.00 in real, US Dollars. I have to wonder if that is an average value or is it one price, no haggling.
I've known men who had horrific looking daughters, incapable of doing the simplest household task. Quite frankly, worthless in my book. Then on the other hand, I have met some young ladies that were quite fetching, hips made for breeding and the skills to cook and clean as they should be. Certainly, these two females are not of equal value.
I'll follow the Bible as I have followed it as God had it written. I was wondering if any Biblical scholars is aware of God telling us definitively that some are worth less than others. Not racially speaking of course, a nigress is only worthwhile if she can produce a buck. Everyone knows that.
As many here know, I have been without a wife for some time and now that I have completely forgotten who she was, it is time to remarry.
