In this section pulled out from the Bible word choice wasn’t very good. The sentences were incomplete and repeated multiple times. Although repeating the phrases many times helps to put that into the readers mind, which is a good writing technique. It is simple which makes it easy to understand.
The treatment of woman in this reading was very low. To take woman and say that they were made and taken from men therefore they are woman is ridiculous. I feel like in this reading they make men seem much more important then woman which I disagree with because woman and men should be equal. It also makes men look more mighty and powerful then women which is not true in all cases. Also in Genesis 3 the woman is the one who takes the fruit and gives it unto her husband. It makes women seem as if they are not as intelligent because the woman was the one who took the fruit after being tricked. Then the book says that the man shall rule over the woman because of her one mistake and I think that’s too quick to give the power all to the man when he too made a mistake.
When the judges choose this piece I don’t think he was thinking about the complexion of it. He chose a very simple and bland written piece. It did though talk about what at that time the government and the law stated was how the world was created and started. So I do think that it was appropriate for the judge to choose that exact book section to present in court.
