Can Women Pastor ?

[Sister Alvear]

The Lord gives the command, the women that proclaims the good tidings are a great host (Psalm 68:11 NASB).

Dr. Adam Clark gives this literal translation of Psalms 68:11: Of the female preachers, there was a great host.

Isaiah 40:9: Dr. Clark’s literal translation is also enlightening, AO daughter that bring good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain. O thou woman that publishes good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid, say unto the city of Judah, Behold your God.”

Here is a list of translations of Psalms 68:11. One can certainly draw strength from. “The Lord giveth the word, the women that published the tiding are a great host” (Psalm 68:11 ASV).

“The Lord gives the word (of power): the women who bear and publish (the news) are a great host” (Amp. Bible).

“The Lord proclaims good news, or the word, women bearing good news” (New English Bible).

“The Lord gives the word; women bear the glad tidings” [a Vast Army] (New American Bible).

“The Lord gave matter to the women to tell of the great army” (The Geneva Bible).

“The Lord gave the command and many women carried the news” (The Good News Bible).

“When the Lord sent news of victory, the women who told it were a mighty host” (James Moffatts Translation).

The word “publish” in Hebrew is “basar” (Strong’s 1319), which means “to announce (glad news); messenger, preach, publish and shewforth.”

The Bible teaches a “vast army” of women proclaimers. According to Strong’s 6635, it means “A mass of persons.”

I once was invited to a Spiritist Christmas party...the witch doctor spoke, the priest spoke and of course when my chance was given I spoke...I sure did not tell those men I cannot speak in your presence...lol...and I prayed the witch doctor through to the Holy Ghost! Right there in their christmas party...

The ratio of women missionaries is three women to one man. For volunteers, the ratio is twenty women for one man! In some cultures only women can bring the gospel to pagan people who sit in darkness, for men are not allowed to approach them.
As defenders of the faith, women stand side by side with men in their capacity to face death and endure agonies of persecutions. I wonder after looking at facts, how anyone can still downgrade the anointing and ministry of chosen women of God.

and in Portuguese it says:

[Sister Alvear]

O hebraico diz literalmente: O Senhor deu uma palavra. As anunciadoras de boa nova são um exército grande.
Hebrew literally says, The Lord gave the word and the female announcers are a big army...

[Sister Alvear]

Salmos 68:12 - O Senhor dá a palavra; As mulheres que proclamam as boas novas (hamevasseroth) são uma grande multidão. (The Lord giveth the word; The women that proclaim the tidings are a great host.
(The Holy Scriptures. The Jewish Publication Society, p. 916.)

another rendering...


The Lord giveth the word!
A great company of women announce the glad tidings!
Kings with their armies flee -- they flee!
And those, who dwell within the house, divide the spoil!
Although they lie among the hearth stones,
They are become like a dove's wings overlaid with silver,
And like her pinions overlaid with yellow gold.
When the Almighty scattereth kings,
They glisten therein, as snow upon Salmon

[Sister Alvear]

another rendering says:

v11 The *Lord gave a message
and a large number of women passed on the good news.

Sis. Alvear, did you not read my exegetical response to your theory about this passage earlier? The passage has nothing at all to do w/ "women preachers" in the church...................
