Dear Raymond, Although your conclusion ["... it is absurd to conclude that
Rivka would have been three years old when she married Isaac"] seems
reasonable, I prefer to imagine a hardy three year old who could whonk up
enough water for ten thirsty camels without breaking a sweat. Now that's a
real woman. Boosts my faith.
