There have been numerous times on here from our muslim members about Mother Mary being only 10 or 11 or 12 when she had Jesus, but the fact is that the Bible does not mention Mother Marys age during this period. That’s all in the New Testament.
But there is an interesting passage in the OT in Chapter 16 of Ezekiel
God speaks to Ezekiel about Jerusalem, but the words are of interest and they make a point, at least to me they do, about “age”.
It talks about a “
birth”, a “
growth”, a “
love” and a “
marriage” to Jerusalem. One can use some sense and logic and it all makes sense what is appropriate.
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations
3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem, “Your origin and your birth are from the land of the Canaanite, your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
4 “As for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing; you were not rubbed with salt or even wrapped in cloths.
**5 “No eye looked with pity on you to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you. Rather you were thrown out into the open field, for you were abhorred on the day you were born. **
**6 “When I passed by you and saw you squirming in your blood, I said to you while you were in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you while you were in your blood, ‘Live!’ **
**7 “I made you numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare. **
8 “Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also swore to you and entered into a covenant with you so that you became Mine,” declares the Lord GOD.
God talks about Jerusalem, how He created Her and she let God down by being “unfaithful” to Him with foolishness, chaos and mayhem.
But what is interesting is the description of how God waited until the appropreate “age” time to make Jerusalem His.
Aishia was only 6 when engaged and 9 when married. She did not have any of the “
body attributes” which were age appropriate for marriage according to the Bible.
