Question: Today many Americans are involved in a debate between those who support “traditional marriage between a man and a women” and those who support the right of same-sex couples to “marry” ( as in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) or the right to be joined in legal “domestic partnership” (as in the State of Vermont and Connecticut).
What were the differences between the beliefs and pratices of the ancient Hebrews from the beginning ( mentioned in the two creation stories- both in Genesis of the Bible) to the 7th/6th centuries B.C.E. and those who support “traditional marriage between a man and a woman?” Note that this “traditional marriage” today does not demand that the man and the women must procreate; nor did the ancient Hebrews have a word for “marriage”.
