Today, we're diving into the deep, confusing world of marriage in Israel in the ancient past, particularly the time of the Exodus and Monarchy.
WARNING: This podcast deals with some sensitive and potentially triggering material about sex and marriage in the Ancient Near East. There's nothing vulgar, but I do address things like prostitution and incest in that world.

In this episode, Erik talks about the figurative language in Exodus 19 and how it deepens the reading of text. Phrases like "bore you on eagle's wings" and "wash your garments" have meaning beyond the literal sense.
