In all the directions given Moses, for the regulation ofthe social and civil life of the children of Israel, and in the commandments. on Mount Sinai, it is rarely that females are mentioned. The regulations are chiefly for males, the offerings are male, the transgressions referred to are male. When the Lord was about to give the ten commandments to the children of Israel he gave the most minute directions as to the preparatory duties of the people. It is evident from the text that males only were to witness Moses' ascent to Mount Sinai and the coming of the Lord in a cloud of fire. Exodus xix. ta And thou shalt set bounds unto the people beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet round aboul. saying, Take heed to yourselves, soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. that ye go eot up intothe mount, or touch the bord- 54 ? And Moses went down from the mount oner of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be to the people, and sanctified the people; and they surely put to death, washed their clothes. t~ There shall not a hand touch it, but he shall s6 And he said unto the people, Be reedy against surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it tIe the third day: come not atyour w,ves. The children of Israel were to sanctify themselves for this great event. Besides a thorough cleaning of their persons and clothes, they were to have no affiliations or conversations with women for the space of three days. The Hebrew laws regulating the relations of men and women are never complimentary to the latter. This feeling was in due time cultivated in the persecutions women endured under witchcraft and celibacy, when all women were supposed to be in collusion with the spirit of evil, and every man was warned that the less he had to do with the ?daughters of men? the more perfect might be his communion with the Creator. Lecky in his History of Rationalism shows what women endured when these ideas were prevalent, and their sufferings were not mitigated until rationalism took the place of religion, and reason trumphed over superstition.
