Mary of Magdala page7 by ric gustafson
It had now been 8 years. Mary was still childless.
One day, Mary found the idol in a wooden box. She studied it. Ashara. It was a beautiful name. She knew she should show it to her husband.
" Give me a child". She yelled at it. " If you have any power".
The idol was silent.
Ashara fulfilled her obligation. Mary became pregnant.
Her and Joel picked out names of Moses and Elisheba for a boy or girl.
Joel assured Mary that he had burned up the idol. He told her that he threw away the ashes.
Mary felt better emotionally.
She could not wait to have her child.
Eventually, the baby came.
They named the girl Elisheba.
