Which biblical character do you most resemble?

Asked by Blondesjon (34000points) March 14th, 2009

I think Lot’s wife and I have a lot in common. I would have had to look back too. I guess I can also be a bit salty at times as well.

An obscure female character named Huldah who was a prophetess and interpreted the law for Josiah the king (2 Kings 22:14–20). Hardly anyone knows about her, but the king chose to consult her when he needed the book of the law interpreted rather than consulting the big names (Jeremiah, Zephaniah, etc.). As the lone female in a department of theology, I feel an affinity with her, though I’m no prophetess.

Yael. I would totally drive a tent peg through an asshole’s head if he tried to mess with my people :P

That was actually Jael, and thought the general Sisera was an Israelite but later found out that he wasn’t so she stabbed him in the temple.

If you like that how about Ehud who stabbed the Moabite king with a double edge dagger while paying him the tax. they were then disorganized and Ehud rose up as a major Judge and brought 40 years of peace to that land.

i take a very in depth religion course at my school, we have too.

Yael and Jael are the same person…it’s different spellings, pronounced the same.

I say Jael because it sound more like a girls name to me.

You mean, you pronounce it “Jay-el?” That does sound more feminine, but I kind of like that her name isn’t too girly-girly, considering what she’s biblically famous for :P

“Yah-el” fits her, in my opinion.

Jesus. I just want everyone to be happy and stop complaining about things.

Mary Magdalene. My name is Madeleine. And my Spanish name is Magdalena. A lot of people call me that.

Honestly, I don’t know much about the bible.
