And many work for all of mankind no matter in what time they were living. I would be in a world of hurt if I began sobbing over how much of the Bible has nothing to do with me.
Mohar, or a bride's price. In Jewish culture the groom's family paid a bride's price even when rape was not an issue. In other words, raping a girl and being forced to marry her did not get the young man out of paying a bride's price.

Well sure, because they knew nothing about anything. The top sientists and mathematicians of the world were grappling with inventing the concept of "zero" , a round earth, and a solar cetric model of our solar system. These are things the average 5 year old understands today. If this was the cutting edge of the tiny intellectual elite of the planet 3000 years ago, imagine the crazy stuff the average illiterate goat herder believed.I heard that back in the olden days they believed that stuff could be cured by leeches and bloodletting and if someone sailed too far they would fall off the world.
