Notice what kind of women: those who are working. That’s important! All throughout the Bible godly women have been those who are willing to work hard. We will see it here in a moment with Rebekah. Moses’ wife was a shepherdess. The Shulammite in Song of Solomon worked in the vineyard. Ruth gleaned in the fields. A woman who is willing to work is a prize. In Proverbs 31 the ideal wife is described as one who “girds herself with strength and makes her arms strong” (v. 17 NASB).
