An elegant write; I enjoy your poems regarding historical figures of Israel.

You definitely get the right mix of ancient and contemporary in this very interesting poem gershon. It does raise many questions. 9 from Tai, it was 10 but the finger slipped.

Very nice, Gershon...one of the more interesting characters in old testament...and an interesting moral discussion told poetically. Raynette

A lovely piece and Biblical, too. Old Testament/Torah seems its source. A nice retelling and a telling poem highlighting morality and the harsh punishment meted out when that morality is expressed in action. It contrasts nicely with the contemporary morality of honor killings in the Islamic community and also with contemporary Western mores. Hugh
