Author Topic: What age is he is of age? BigHead Community Member Member # 6143 posted                          "he is of age" means "He had been a man". -------------------- Hi, I'm Big head Posts: 15 | From: Asia | Registered: Oct 2006  |  IP: Logged |  Eden unregistered posted                 Yes, you are probably right; just someone post-bar mitzvah. Could he marry after bar mitzvah? Or is there another age to marry? Be blessed. Eden IP: Logged |  EL3LN3TN unregistered posted                 From what I know of Jewish tradition - it's probably (rather obvious) a reference to his being beyond puberty (bar mitzvah;12-14 yrs or older) and quite likely what is now referred to as age of emancipation or simply an "adult"; 18-21 yrs or older. IP: Logged |  Eden unregistered posted                 The parents of the blind man who had been healed of his blindness said to the Jews, "He is of age; ask him; he willl speak for himself." (John 9:21) Does anyone know what age is meant by "he is of age?" Be blessed. Eden IP: Logged |
