What I read was two woman saying, "There are no other men around and we're useless unless we make babies." Guess it's both? 🤷🏼

31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”

It's cool. He was really sorry for it after he was called out.

Inspiring!

You too can maybe buy a woman!

I’m imagining him proposing to his wife with a foreskin

If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.

I think the reasoning is that since Jews lacked foreskins but their neighbors the philistines had them, bringing the foreskins showed that it was not Jews you went out to kill. It's like if you wanted someone to kill 100 rattler snakes and as proof you bring 100 rattlers as that's their distinctive body part.

Historically, heads weren’t all that common. Usually only for specific bounties where you’d need to show it was the right person.

For more general things, scalps, ears, and fingers were all far more common.

I mean think about it. It’s gruesome enough on its own. But, fondling dead guy dick is… especially unpleasant. (And they probably stank.)

Only when they died in boiling oil.

In terms of region and name, sure, but probably not in terms of distinct ethnicity and culture. Philistia was most likely a mix of Greek immigrants and Canaanites, but they got totally absorbed by the Babylonian empire -- there's no direct cultural inheritance.

And that they are a semitic people as well, so killing them would be anti semitic

Ya. Thats why Palestinians call Palestine 'Falasteen' nowadays. Its the same place with the same name.

Search said it was this one, but I'm not 100% on that.
