Psalm 68

In psalm 68 verse 11 is in a passage of how God provides for his people. In that verse the psalmist points out that God is the source of Good News (I wonder if the Hebrew relates to the Greek for Gospel?). But notice how the news is spread. The NET notes on this verse indicate that the wording indicates that a group of women are the instrument for God's good news to be spoken. This gives us a picture of God's practice of using women to share messages of his hope. Most notably God practiced this at Jesus' tomb with the group of women who initiated the message of the resurrection.
