bear in Genesis 36
BAIR
This creature shows up in Genesis 36:7: “For their substance was too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn’t bear them because of their livestock.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 36:7
“For their substance was too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn’t bear them because of their livestock.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bear in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 36:7 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
