colt in Genesis 49
KOLT
This creature shows up in Genesis 49:11: “Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine; he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 49:11
“Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine; he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.”
What kids can learn
When you hear colt in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 49:11 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
