bee in Genesis 21
BEE
This creature shows up in Genesis 21:14: “Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 21:14
“Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bee in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 21:14 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
