Analysis of Women of the Bible



Eve the very first woman, to give birth; very first woman to populate the Earth.

Sarah the first woman to give birth, when she was 90 years old; what  a miracle to behold.

Miriam watching over her brother Mosses, as he drifted down the Nile; seeing him return, sure made her smile.

Rahab, the harlot, did find favor,
a scarlet cord, the Hebrews gave her.

Ruth a poor woman, who had favored in the eyes of Boaz the king; his harvests to Ruth, he did bring.

Esther a woman, who “was made for such a time as this,”
got Hammon hung, and he met his abyss.

Mother Mary, who gave birth to Christ.
He gave His life, and He paid the price.

Mary Magdalene , who first gave the good news,
that  Jesus had risen, and Satan did lose.
