With the many translations of the Holy Bible and the many search engines the term rape is not to be found in them and in relation to this account many have implied incest, but consensual sex is not rape!
Tamar was raped and the Hebrew word here is used in the context that this young woman was over powered by her brother, Stongs H7901 Shakav.
Later on in the end of the account we have the term violated H6031 Anah, but still not raped?
It is not clear why the term rape is not used, perhaps since it was mostly men doing the translation and they ignored the emphasis to suit there own power over the woman?
Hi. We are both born-again believers for the last thirty years and we have always had the desire to share our faith with everyone, other believers to be encouraged because it is hard to follow God! To those seeking Him, that they will find that He is able to forgive us our pasts and that He loves us to bring us back into fellowship with Him.
There are many who do not want to know or are blinded by legalism, believing this is enough? But the truth of the Bible is that there is only one way and this has to be made through God's One and only Son Isa,/Isus,/Jesus,/Yeshua!
Jesus was the final sacrifice for our failures, he was the final atonement and our repentance and faith in Him, will bring us back into relationship with God, Elohim, Al-Liylah (Allah).
