There are many passages in the Old Testament that just don't seem right, (I wouldn't throw it under the bus because of it) maybe it's not so apparent but when one reads the stories of the OT and looks at the bigger picture, (not just a passage here or there) women do have import roles. imo the idea of equality of women we have today starts in the Old Testament.
