Re: Deuteronomy 22:5

It is my personal preference to see women wearing skirts and dresses all the time.

However, I honestly do not see the scriptures prohibitng female specific pants, as long as they are not worn in a way that is immodest.

If God cared enough to ........ you for it, He would have made things far more explicit than "just in case" doctrines that are pulled out from ambiguous passages. Don't you think? I agree "form fitting", etc... I'm not a fan of pants due to modesty, but we are quick to make it a hard and fast rule.

Re: Deuteronomy 22:5

Hope this helps:

Note: I can’t find my translation work sheets that contain the Strong numbers and notes. I did find these old tiff images that I attached here.

I also noticed that most of my notes and personal commentary are missing from these images.

While I can’t find my original work on this passage or my extended commentary (sorry), I hope this literal translation will be sufficient:

Instruction to women: Do not take up or array yourself with those implements of industry (labor or war) so as to perform those duties, tasks or responsibilities that God has assigned to men. Implied (according to the second portion of the passage): To be identified as a man – to deceive.

Instructions to men: Do not dress in the clothes of a female in order to pass as a woman. This includes the attempt to escape one’s God ordained duties, tasks and responsibilities by impersonating a woman, nor shall a man dress as a woman for sexual purposes. To be identified as a woman – to deceive.

Male apparel (implements and ornamentation) vs. female garments (clothes and coverings).

Here is a series of images that include most of my original translation notes. Feel free to copy what you want.

De22:5.1
De22:5.2
De22:5.3
De22:5.4
De22:5.5

Re: Deuteronomy 22:5

from "The New Compact Bible Dictionary" c.1967 pg 137

Womans Dress. Among the Hebrews, neither sex was permitted by Mosaic law to wear the same form of clothing as was used by the other(Deut. 22-5). A few articles of female clothing carried somewhat the same name and basic pattern, yet there was always sufficient difference in embossing, embroidery, and needlework so that in appearance the line of demarcation between men and women could be readily detected.

Re: Deuteronomy 22:5

It was 1 Timothy 2:9, with the word, "katastole" (Strongs #2689), for modest, and it's similar word, #2687 "katastello" meaning, "to put down" was explained once as a woman's garment to have to be unifabricated and to hang down. Although, it seems this word, "to put down" also seems to mean, "to quiet" or "appease."

Also, as for Deut. 22:5, there are only 8 other abominations to the LORD, in the Law (or so another argument says), these abominations are:

1. De..7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

2. De..12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

3. De..17:1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

4. De..18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

5. De..22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

6. De..23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

7. De..24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

8. De..27:15 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

Ok, so these abominations unto the LORD are not your regular Mosaic ideosyncracies about not mixing wool and cotton in your clothing- it's about burning your children in idolatrous fires, giving bad offerings to the LORD, marrying wives over a second time (who have slept with other men), idolatry---- and this law about men and women and their respective apparel.

These are the two big arguments I know. Thoughts?

Also the geber argument is poor and I have detroyed that pathetic argument before. Structure and thought process does not allow it.
This really gave me a good luagh Luke: Here's some references for you. take your time, read real S_L_O_W

A. The first phrase, that which pertaineth - the phrase that which pertaineth is represented in the Hebrew by one word, the word keli, and it most generally means a manufactured article. It is most often translated as some sort of weapon or armor.


1. Scholarly references for the word keli: Strongs: 3627 kee-lee" something prepared, i.e. any apparatus (as an implement, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon): --armour [bearer], artillery, bag, carriage + furnish, furniture, instrument, jewel, that is made of one from another, that which pertaineth, pot, psaltery, sack, stuff, thing, tool, vessel, ware, weapon (emphasis Strong's) whatsoever.


2. Gesenius (Hebrew words and most references used by the author deleted) properly whatever is made, completed, or prepared...(1) any utensil, vessel. Gen 31:37; 45:20. vessels of gold, of silver, the vessels of the temple, vessels of wandering, outfit for exile. (2)clothing,* ornaments of a bride, also for yokes for oxen. (3) a vessel for sailing. (4.) an implement, a tool, musical instruments, instruments of the indignation of Jehovah (5) arms, weapons Ben. 27:3 ; Jud 18:11,16. more fully, deadly weapons Psalm 7:14. , an armour-bearer 1 Sam.14:1, 6, 7, 31:4,5,6 an armoury Isa 39:2.


3. Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament: 982g vessel, utensil, The basic idea of this root is "to bring a process to completion." The root occurs in all its forms 237 times. Of these 206 are verbal....The idea of being consumed is most commonly applied to violent destruction, often by war...


4. Wigrams, The New Englishman's Hebrew/Aramaic Concordance: k'lee Translated 45 times as armour, or weapons. Most other times as instrument, jewel, furniture, vessels, etc., but never, *not even in Deut 22:5 is it translated clothing.

Conclusion: The word keli most often means a manufactured item, quite often a weapon, or armor. *It is never, except in Deuteronomy 22:5, translated “that which pertaineth,” “clothing,” or “garment.”


B. The phrase translated unto a man is also represented in the Hebrew language by a single word - gibbor.


1. Scholarly references for the word gibbor -- Strong's, 1368 gibbor, ghib-bore; from 1397 geber gheh'ber, a valiant man or warrior, powerful: by implication warrior, tyrant: --champion, chief, excel, giant, man, mighty (man, one) strong (man), valiant man.


2. Gesenius 1368 author’s references and Hebrew words omitted (1) strong, mighty, impetuous, used of a hunter, commonly of an impetuous soldier, a hero, a mighty king (Alexander the Great), a mighty hero. [The mighty God: Christ is spoken of] these are the heroes, those who were famous of old; the lion is a hero among the beasts; also used of a soldier generally, a mighty warrior, Used of God, Jehovah (is) strong and mighty, Jehovah (is) mighty in battle....(2) a chief, a military leader, the commander of soldiers and the soldier. Used generally of a chief. (3) in a bad sense, proud, a tyrant, like the Arab.


3. Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament: 310 (condensed) (ga bar) prevail, be mighty, have strength, be great. Derivatives, man, mighty man. might. lady, queen. .... The Hebrew root is commonly associated with warfare and has to do with the strength and vitality of the successful warrior....(RSV often translates "warrior") The heroes or champions among the armed forces.


4. Wigrams, p. 289, 290, translated mighty men, mighty one, mighty hunter, mighty, mighty man, mighty men, strong, valiant men, mightiest, mighty of valour, strong man, giant, as a strong man, the Mighty God, the mighty. The only instance it is translated as man is in Du 22:5. Not so translated in any other place.

Since all (real) men wouldn't dream of buying and wearing clothing from the ladies department, we must be keeping that tradition going.

Re: Deuteronomy 22:5

Why do guys care about this subject? Why the fascination, especially this thread started by someone who isn't even married???

I think some of you men have problems you need to talk to your pastor about. Or maybe see a counselor. Seriously.
