でも、結婚するときに処女でなければ、死んで当然だと神から命じられたんだ。
Deuteronomy 22 28 through 29, if a manhappenstomeet a virginwhoisnotpledgedtobemarriedandrapesherandtheyarediscovered, heshallpayherfather 50 shekelsofsilver.
I haveheardmanymanyrebuttalstothis, manyapologeticsthatdefendthis, butinanyworldwhere a womanisviolatedby a maninsuch a terriblewayandthenissoldtohimbyherfatherandforcedtoremainin a marriagewithhim, doesnotfeellike a worldfulloflove.
Christianshavetoldmethatoh, thisis a punishmentforthemanbecause 50 shekelswas a lotofmoneyorthiswas a punishmentforthemanbecausehehadtotakecareofher.

ヨブをそんな目に遭わせることに何の意味があったのだろうか?今、クリスチャンはよく私に言うんだ。
