Numbers Naso Verses 4:21-7:89

In the parsha this week, we set up the Jewish Judicial System. One similarity between the US and the ancient Israelite judicial systems is that EVERYBODY is equal. No man or woman is preferred over another. This seems like nothing to my generation because its been taught, but for an ancient civilization this was a huge feat. Woman were pretty equal in ancient Egypt because they got into power,but to get their power they usually murdered their brothers. Cleopatra had to "love" Caesar and Anthony just for power. In Greece, women were depicted as beautiful in mythology, but had NO rights. Rome, women were pictured as maids, chefs, and nannies. Although in ancient Israel, if you were a man you were punished, if you were a woman you were punished. WOMEN are in the Torah. We do not just have Adam, Cain, Abel, Abraham, Issac,Jacob and Moses. We have Eve, Sarah, Rebbecca, Leah, Rachel, and Miriam. God is not sexist. Why do we live in a sexist world?
