Women

I noticed an interesting thing while reading The Wisdom of Solomon. We have discussed before that (and it is very prominent in the section this section) that Wisdom is feminine. In Ch 1 Justice is also female "will justice overlook him when she passes sentence(1.8)" but death is male "the godless by their deeds and words have asked death for his company. Thinking him their friend and pining for him . . . (1.16)." It is interesting to me that the compilers of the bible are so set on making women out to be sinful and beneath men but then they attribute good and positive things to being female and bad or negative things as male. Gender labeling things this way is probably another reason why this section was left out of the mainstream readings.
