adder in Jeremiah 8
AD-er
This creature shows up in Jeremiah 8:17: ““For, behold, I will send serpents, adders among you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says Yahweh.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Jeremiah 8:17
““For, behold, I will send serpents, adders among you, which will not be charmed; and they will bite you,” says Yahweh.”
What kids can learn
When you hear adder in Jeremiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Jeremiah 8:17 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
