Excellent explanation. I will add, after covering her powerful beauty, a woman reveals it at the moment it will do the most good for herself and for all of society, by revealing it to one man in the covenant of marriage. Modesty is to allow a woman to keep her power until she is in the best possible position (having a man vow his life to her, and she to him), and then release her power at the right time, for the good of everyone. It is something she does for herself, her husband, her children, her extended family, and for society. It benefits all.
This is great. "Surfeit of loveliness" - loved that phrase. I thought you might touch on veiling/head covering and the Holy of Holies and the Ark of The Covenant and things like that ... For another time perhaps...
I love it! Thank you for explaining the biblical idea of modesty. While I was watching it, I keep thinking about my muslim friends. They justify women covering from head to toe as cherishing women’s beauty as well. Some strict Islamic law limits women wearing black only because no one can see through. I wonder how can I explain modesty to muslim women?
Excellent! Grew up in a fighin' fundie church where modesty was about hemlines and necklines alone. Thank you for your focus. Still mulling the idea that "God is modest", though.
I am continually awestruck by your poetic exegesis of scripture. As a Bible teacher, I would love to hear about your educational background and the resources you've used to cultivate such a wonderful thought process and framework to do what you do.
You missed on this one because real beauty is a smile and a kind (or Christian) disposition and because many women are not “beautiful”. Furthermore you have probably never met a farmers wife who has strength (nowadays many women work out). There are many types of strengths, do you think you are stronger than most women? You don’t look very strong. Modesty is not showing off your body.
This was a great take on modesty. Very well articulated.

Such a great addition. Thanks, Julie.
THIS IS THE BEST REVELATION I'VE EVER HEARD. No wonder I love mysteries!
What do ya'll think?

Thank you, very well explained and a viewpoint I had not thought of before.
