Been reading the book of Joshua and thus far I’ve learnt:
-God’s promises are true and they will come to fulfilment
-Disobedience to God’s word always has serious repercussions
-Males and females have different roles and offices: in the Old Testament only males became priests, only men went to battle etc.

Now I ask: If females went to battle, what would happen to the children?

Titus 2:3-5King James Version (KJV)
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Timothy 3:1-2King James Version (KJV)
3 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Timothy 3:12King James Version (KJV)
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
