calf in Genesis 18
KAF
This creature shows up in Genesis 18:7: “Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 18:7
“Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.”
What kids can learn
When you hear calf in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 18:7 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
