Side note on women

God reveals himself and teaches his own because 'God is separated from men by ignorance' or 'Elohim' אלהים. Paul wanted us to understand this when he wrote that women should learn from their husbands.

Paul was not speaking of men and women. He was speaking of Christ and the church. [1]
The bride is the church and the husband is Christ. Paul writes in a mystery, not literally. It is easy to see why people who do not know the scripture, come up with pernicious doctrine subjugating women.
  1. Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
