Chayil PDF Download

The Chayil Woman a new book by Stella Payton...Proverbs 31:10 "Who can find a VIRTUOUS CHAYIL woman? For her price is far above rubies." KJVFew people realize that virtuous is translated from the Hebrew word CHAYIL. To the King James Translators, virtue was emphasized for good reason. Crusade wars had waged for over 200 years. They took men away from their families for years at a time. It was important that the "virtue" of their women remain intact in their absence. However, for a Hebrew woman, moral purity was a given. To do otherwise meant a swift death. Chayil in its original framework is ESHET CHAYIL meaning woman of VALOR. It is great courage in the face of danger. It implies bravery--doing what frightens you; pluck--the kind of daring that enables you to quickly remove someone from a dangerous; nerve--braced mentally to face demanding situations; audacious--taking bold risks with confident, dauntless--fearless; ; moxie--force of character with determination and nerve. This is a Chayil Woman. And these are the characteristics women need today.But Chayil doesn't stop with valor. More that 50% of the time this word is translated, it is in the context of VICTORIOUS WARFARE. Another 25% of the time it is in the context of WEALTH and the ability to acquire wealth. When you add all this up, CHAYIL was a woman who knew how to fight and win the battle of the Home, Community and Marketplace. CHAYIL is the WEALTH of Deuteronomy 8:18 and Proverbs 13:22. CHAYIL changes everything we thought we knew about the VIRTUOUS WOMAN.Furthermore, Jewish Rabbis teach that the Virtuous Woman of Proverbs 31 is an allegory. She was a representation of the Body of Christ for our time. She is a symbol of what the Kingdom of God can do in order to release the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. This is the season for the Wealth and Wisdom of the Chayil Woman to manifest. It is time for her to arise, to shine. For her light has come.
