Show Notes

There is a debate (even in scholarship) as to whether the text at hand refers to a woman miscarrying or going into labor and having a live-birth. There’s also discussion as to whether the harm mentioned here is just to the woman or also to the child growing inside the woman. This lesson looks at all the variables, and pulls some interesting information from the Septuagint text as well as the writings of the ancient Jewish historian Philo.
