Brother Epley,

Thank you for your response. This is a little more than what I had in mind.

May I infer that you take a literal meaning of these verses? How do you deal with the admonition against wearing clothing, (yikes) or the fact that they only mention women, in a single-verse literal meaning?

The word 'jewelry' isn't in there, either.
