of Yael driving a stake through Barak's head.
Ok, now that just sounds like a quote from a David Eddings novel.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, I thought Joseph married Mary anyway, even though it seemed like she was pregnant with another man's child, because he believed her that it was the son of God?
That's what I thought. Didn't Joseph try to break off the engagement, and then an angel (Gabriel?) tell Joseph the sitch?

tommy have you SEEN the new "hip" Bible? Some...Nordic type folk made it and it's very too cutting edge.

Ooh, and oh yeah, Esther! Esther FASCINATED me for about 2 months when I was about 9. Esther was freaking hot in my illustrated Child's Bible, and I wanted all her cool clothes and jewelry.
You would have loved Purim. A whole holiday celebrating Esther, where little girls usually dress up like her. Plus, at many synagogues, a carnival where kids can win useless plastic junk!

Thanks for the answers, guys. So, kind of glossed over as little kids, and pick it up somewhere along the way to teenagedom, it seems?

Ooh - a painting!
Who's the chick helping her?
tommy have you SEEN the new "hip" Bible?
Nope. The hippest Bible I've seen is "Good News for Modern Man".

Her servant. I don't think she has a name. But that's how you can tell the difference between paintings of Judith and paintings of Yael -- Judith has a servant, and Yael doesn't.

Jesus, make me Jewish!
Also, linky to cutting-edge New Testament. Too bad it's only NT -- I'm thinking the OT is WAY more chicktastic. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, I thought Joseph married Mary anyway, even though it seemed like she was pregnant with another man's child, because he believed her that it was the son of God?
Yeah, he did, but in the Luke (I think) translation we were using it still said "betrothed" as they were getting ready to have the baby.
Another excellent point this priest made was that overnight shepards were probably shady characters, so what must THAT have been like, these random guys showing up in the shed where you've just had a baby??

Was Judith a princess? Cause it seems that beheading someone with a nice sharp sword would require less handmaidenly help than driving a kebab through the skull! (Although, maybe the temple...?)
