calf in Isaiah 11
KAF
This creature shows up in Isaiah 11:6: “The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat; The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 11:6
“The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat; The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them.”
What kids can learn
When you hear calf in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 11:6 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
