Theological / Devotional

Tokens. From ancient times the evidence of a young woman’s virginity was treasured as proof of her unsullied youth. Immediately upon the consummation of the marriage this physical evidence (see on verse 17) was shown to the immediate relatives, who could then be called upon as material witnesses of her virginity.

In the gate. See on Genesis 19:1.
