Help:
- Verse 8 - As weird as this seems to us (and it is!), it was standard practice back then. Of course, marriage wasn't done for love back then either.
- Verse 18 - Wow. Just wow. Incredibly dysfunctional. There is a lot of Old Testament stuff that puts Jerry Springer to shame - and this is one of those moments. Again, the one point I would make is this: everything that happens in the Bible is not God's will. These actions are the result of Israel's sin. The Bible tells us about it, but is not endorsing the actions.
