To the left are female fertility statues, 3,000 year old proofs that the Israelites disobeyed God, as Exodus 20:4 records: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Many Canaanites sought fertility from idols, but in Genesis 30:22, God opened Rachel’s womb ā not Baal. 1 Samuel 1:5 records the Lord had shut up her womb. When God gave Hannah a son, she named him Samuel, as 1 Samuel 1:20 recounts Because I have asked him of the Lord.
