As-Salaam Alaikum, Bro. Brown!
....I just wanted to share this that I found on this subject my brother (from
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/concubine?s=t :)
concubine
[kong-kyuh-bahyn, kon-]
noun
1. a woman who cohabits with a man to whom she is not legally married, especially one regarded as socially or sexually subservient; mistress.
2. (among polygamous peoples) a secondary wife, usually of inferior rank.
3. (especially formerly in Muslim societies) a woman residing in a harem and kept, as by a sultan, for sexual purposes.
These definitions would lead me to believe that verse 6 is not talking about concubines because verses 1 - 6 describe
all believers, male and female...so female believers can express sexual passions with those whom
their right hands possess...would it still mean concubines in your best opinion?...if so, could you please explain why?...
Thank you very much.
Bro. Broham
