I wanted to make a drawing with a random Hebrew phrase I made up with Kosher.chat, and I also wanted to use only orange shades as well. Pleas enjoy.

@N0-11: The tl;dr is back in the day, if you were Named it was because you were Important, and the ratio of Named women to men in Jesus' adventures suggests they were pretty important. Though not named, consider the Parable of the Syrophoenician Woman (Matthew 15:21, Mark 7:24): scholars have debated whether she is correcting Jesus' prejudice or he's feigning Pharisee-brand arrogance as a test, but either way the result is the same: Jesus learns something by her encounter.
Climbing through the backlog leads to some funny coincidences: Earlier today I sat through an argument over women's place in the Bible and how the particulars of Aramaic language and lacunae of centuries' divorce from the original stories have worked to obscure and downplay the prominence of female disciples in early Christianity—even before the faith got squeezed through the inherent misogyny of Greek society. :x
