The Torah contains passages that parallel the concept of wives reverencing their husbands, as seen in Ephesians 5:33. One key passage is Genesis 3:16, where God tells Eve: “Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” This verse establishes a dynamic in which the wife acknowledges her husband’s leadership. Another relevant passage is Genesis 2:18, where God says: “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” The Hebrew word for “helper” (ezer) suggests a supportive and respectful role. Additionally, Numbers 30:6-8 discusses how a husband has the authority to confirm or nullify his wife’s vows, reinforcing the idea of reverence and recognition of his role. Note how the Torah emphasizes respect and honor within marriage, aligning with the New Testament’s teachings on wives reverencing their husbands. This is how Paul and the NT text taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
