Isn't it the case that barrenness arises chiefly as a result of sin, especially sexual sin? Isn't it the case that a person can be barren not only on account of that person's sin, but also on that of that person's ancestors? Nevertheless, doesn't the one who created both humans and the human womb have power and capacity to remove barrenness? Doesn’t Yahweh have power both to shut the womb and to open it, thereby facilitating conception, bearing and giving birth?
Seeing that Yahweh has commanded humans to be fruitful, to multiply and to fill the earth, and seeing also that he has power over the womb, isn't it the case that humans cannot fulfil this command of his unless and until he so facilitates it? Isn't it the case that only those whom Yahweh allows to fulfil his command do so?
Isn't it the case that Yahweh removes the barrenness of his servants, but does not intervene to deliver the wicked out of their barrenness? Isn't it also the case that when the wicked repent of their sins, and seek Yahweh with all their heart and mind, that Yahweh indeed removes their barrenness?
Also, doesn't the prayer of Yahweh's righteous servants for deliverance from barrenness avail much? Doesn't Yahweh hear the proposals of his servants to remove their barrenness in exchange for dedicating the first child that Yahweh so provides to Yahweh's service? Doesn't Yahweh hear such proposals to him when those servants of his so proposing are honourable in that they will keep their word undertaken to Yahweh?
Isn't it also the case that not all cases of barrenness arise on account of sin? Don't some cases of barrenness arise for the sake of Yahweh's glorification at Yahweh's appointed time, such as when he delivers the barren and glorifies his name among those who so witness the deliverance?
Shouldn't Yahweh's servants faithfully serve him to avoid the curse of barrenness? And where they are barren, shouldn't they rely on Yahweh to deliver them from that affliction, fully believing that Yahweh will indeed deliver them, when they have sought him and he has answered them?
