If you haven’t seen my previous postings, I’m writing a series of essays in response to a YouTube video that supposedly tells the dirty, hitherto unknown, truth about Biblical marriages—a truth that even Christians don’t know. About fifteen examples of “Biblical” marriages are given during the four minute vid, each more outrageously unbelievable than the last.
The thing is, though, that very few of the examples given are actual Biblical marriages. So with that in mind, I’m examining the examples of so-called “biblical” marriages (or “godly” marriages since that’s what we all mean when we use the word biblical) given in the YouTube video to show how they are, in fact, rarely biblical in nature. Unfortunately, of the examples given, the marriages that are biblical are also kinda messed up. It’s not the institution of marriage that’s at fault in these relationships, but the way the marriages are lived.
To date I’ve written about “one man, one woman, and the son she seduces after he’s killed his only brother” (Adam, Eve and Cain), “one man and his sister” (Abraham and Sarah), “one man, his sister and the help” (Abraham, Sarah and Hagar)1, “one man and the table salt” (Lot and his wife), “one man, [and] a gal who’s kidnapped and raped right after her brother, father, mother and slutty sister have been slaughtered” (the tribe of Benjamin and 400+ virgins), “one man, one woman, another woman, yet another woman, a few more woman, an adulterer and a pack of raped whores!”, (David, his wives & concubines, and his son Absolom) and also between “one man, and frankly enough women to make a Mormon compound seem quaintly understaffed” (Solomon, and his wives & concubines)2.
This time we’re talking about a little known, and little discussed, guy named Sheshan, his unnamed daughter, and the guys she married, an Egyptian slave named Jarha. Or, as the Betty Bowers video puts it, a marriage that is between "one man, Daddy’s little girl and the slave Daddy hired to rape her."
