Herein lies the problem. "You don't buy the argument." When confronted with the exact meaning of the word, meaning a "warrior", you still argue against the truth.
It doesn't matter what we think or believe. This is the meaning of the word. If you look up the word "man" that is used to describe the human male, you will find a different word.

Your problem is ignoring one little phrase of Strong's definition: Note the bolden words...
Quote:
OT:1397 - geber (gheh'-ber); from OT:1396; properly, a valiant man or warrior; generally, a person simply: KJV - every one, man, mighty.
The fact this definition has multiple meanings is not lost in this passage
Quote:
1 Chron 23:3
3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand
Are you going to suggest the Levites were mighty warriors?
The problem is with selective interpretation. If the passage was dealing with women wearing combat clothes, it would be with in the section dealing with combat.
There are other scriptures which use the same hebrew word including Job 14:14
Quote:
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
I don't buy the argument the definition is exclusive.

Thanks for clarifying. I understand what you are saying. You are not denying it, just don't think it's all inclusive?
I lean towards the conservative definition because of the lingering questions I have about the placement of the verse and the verse being used to describe the levites. Not to mention reading the complete definiton of the word.
