In order to discover what modesty means, I wore a head covering for a year and a half, along with what one might consider orthodox jewish clothing (that is, long and loose skirts to the ankles with high collars and longer sleeves). I stopped shaving and wearing makeup along with other cosmetic products for 2 and a half years as well. All of this experiences were good experiences that the Father brought me through. But since then I have been asking the question: what does nakedness really mean? And in light of this hidden meaning, what should our conduct be like as children of the Most High Elohim? This study has shed some serious light on the subject for me. It proves that once again, the Words of the Father are plain for all to understand, and His commands are not burdensome for us to keep. In fact, most of us keep his commandments on a regular basis without even knowing. Thanks again for this insightful study! Your labor of love over His word has born good fruit in my life and many more I'm sure!!! Shalom (PEACE) from a sisterAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149591514206666023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-39872919753354356312013-07-20T04:45:28.441-07:002013-07-20T04:45:28.441-07:00Excellent study on "ervah".

I did a similar study many years ago when I was working through the biblical perspective of nudity.<br /><br />One passage that stuck out to me was the story of Noah. As I recall, the Hebrew is close to "Noah uncovered his own nakedness". This is the same phrasing used in Leviticus where incest is forbidden. And Ham did not just "see", but the word used is the same in Leviticus where it says the people are not to uncover a relative's nakedness to gaze/stare - as you point out, a euphemism for sexual relations.<br /><br />Given the similarity of phrasing with the Leviticus passages, it seems to me that Noah got drunk and masturbated. Ham went in and watched him, then told his brothers.<br /><br />Can you imagine that as part of a Sunday school lesson!? I think the story of Noah is often used as a foundation for body shame and the forbidding of nudity. We have the story of the flood and God's redemption and the rainbow, then *bam!* there's this weird passage about Noah getting drunk and being naked. How awkward! It doesn't fit into a cute little children's story at all. I believe we gloss over that passage with a quick "you shouldn't be naked and shouldn't look at other people naked. Now how about that rainbow!?"Jasenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612368694261383142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-38481073100415806232013-04-20T08:46:45.079-07:002013-04-20T08:46:45.079-07:00Thank you this clears up a lot for me it has given...Thank you this clears up a lot for me it has given me the information I need to understand the difference between the loin clothe or nudity culture of certain tribes and the scanty clothing that are marketed in our culture for the sole purpose of flaunting or exposing the body in a sexual way if fact they are called dressing sexy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
