This Year’s Four Children
In a modern interpretation of the Four Sons written before October 7th, Einat Rimon imagines four daughters drawn from the biblical stories of four women. The fourth daughter, the daughter who does not know how to ask, is based on the story of the female captive in Deuteronomy 21.
The Four Daughters Einat Rimon Excerpted from
And the one who cannot ask, this is the beautiful female captive taken in war.
Only her silent weeping is heard, as it is written, “and she will weep for her father and mother” (Deuteronomy 21:13). We will begin for her. We will be her voice and she will be our judge. We will return her to her mother’s house and the home where she was born, and we will “proclaim freedom in the land, for all who live on it” (Leviticus 25:10)
