[QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [QB] We look at the phrase "Turn the other check" in the context that First of Two described. There is another context, based in 1st century CE ideas and values. If you strike a man the way that is common, you are striking a slave. (This is how slaves were treated.) If you strike a man on the other check, you are striking a man who is free. The most basic and important concept to be gained from this phrase is the difference between a slave and a free person. This is how the disciples of Yehoshua bar Joseph most likely interpretated this teaching. [/QB][/QUOTE]
