BAIR
This creature shows up in Genesis 3:16: “To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bear children. Your desire will be for your…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 3:16
“To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bear children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.””
What kids can learn
