νόμος
nomos
law
Summary
νόμος ("law") in 1 Corinthians 14:34 is invoked as the basis for silencing women — yet no such command exists anywhere in the Hebrew Scriptures. The most plausible referent is Pharisaic oral law (halakha) that restricted women from public speech, making this an appeal to extra-biblical tradition rather than divine Scripture.
Used in Verses
v.34: The "Law" cited has no OT referent; most plausibly Pharisaic oral tradition (*halakha*), not biblical Scripture — supporting the quotation reading.
