Bible translators turned a prediction of male rule into a command to men

Drawn from what Sarah Grimké said

What Sarah Grimké actually said

  1. Sarah Grimké American abolitionist and women's rights writer (1792 to 1873)
    Our translators having been accustomed to exercise lordship over their wives, and seeing only through the medium of a perverted judgment, very naturally, though I think not very learnedly or very kindly, translated it shall instead of will, and thus converted a prediction to Eve into a command to Adam; for observe, it is addressed to the woman and not to the man.
