Context is a tricky thing IMHO.
The oxen treading out the grain is not muzzled.
The preacher doing a good job receives pay.
The plowman plows in hope of some of the harvest.
The concern is not about the oxen, but us.
A concept can start in a totally different context and it’s final real goal can be far removed from the final goal. Pardes is a Jewish concept that leads us to understand parables.
The virgins of Ezekiel start out in Israel, but what are the two major divisions today?
Start a thread to discuss all this Pardes stuff.
I started a gentile thread and welcome comments.
