He took her hand in his to kiss her, but she bent forward with an enticing gaze. He fought back against the allure of this oddity. Her eyes were filled with half-serious rebuke, laughter, and enticement. Her wide eyes got larger and wilder at times, then narrowed in enticement and wickedness. He found himself fighting a losing battle against her charms. Enticement is a form of temptation used by priests and teachers in the Bible. It involves using something desirable (such as food or drink) to lure someone into doing something wrong. In the Old Testament, Moses was given instructions on how to deal with rebels who came up against Israel during their journey through the desert. The leaders of the people should take a young woman as a wife, and for each young woman, they are told to offer three sheep as a tribute. Then the leaders are instructed to have the young woman sit opposite the man who sent her away and look at what he has to eat--loaf of bread and vegetables. If he looks at meat instead, then he has shown that he is a good person and not deserving of rebellion. But if he sends it away, then she is allowed to send him off with a message telling him where more food can be found. The leaders are also told to take some honey and water and put it on some stones when sending them away.
