Misinterpretation of 2Kings 21:13.
I was watching on FB Reels, YT Shots, Instagram posts and memes these days on social media about Man doing with cleaning of dishes in the kitchen. Though it started as fun but soon it might take a serious turn. So, I decided to try and give a better understanding of the Scripture.
As "a man" wipeth - the word "man" was never there in the hebrew scriptures, but the meaning was implied to it. It was more of implied to God rather than man (husband/son). It is God who warns Israel that as the remnant of food is wiped from the bowl, leaving no crumbs or the last drop, the bowl can be turned upside down. In the same way God is going to handover them (Israelites) to enemies who will spoil and plunder as like nothing left in their bowels or plates, because they have done evil before the Lord since they came out of Egypt (2Kings 21:13,14,15). So v13 has nothing to do with a man (husband/son) doing dishes, but there is nothing wrong in helping your woman/mother/sister in the kitchen. It's not mandatory that the man has to do with the dishes in his house.
