Shermana,
Genesis 31 relates the account about Rachael and the teraphim. She stole her fathers teraphim and hid it, he was frantically searching for it. The account explains:
gen 31:34*Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and she resorted to putting them in the woman’s saddle basket of the camel, and she kept sitting upon them. So La′ban went feeling through the whole tent, but did not find them. 35*Then she said to her father: “Do not let anger gleam in the eyes of my lord, because I am not able to get up before you, for the customary thing with women is upon me.” So he searched on carefully, but did not find the teraphim.
this account shows that before the mosaic law was given, men were quite aware of the menstural cycle of women and they gave them special consideration during such times. Laban did not force Racheal to get up from where she was sitting, he search around her but allowed her to stay where she was.
what does that tell you about knowledge and understanding that men in ancient times had of women and the menstrual cycle?
