deer in Deuteronomy 15
DEER
This creature shows up in Deuteronomy 15:22: “You shall eat it within your gates. The unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the deer.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Deuteronomy 15:22
“You shall eat it within your gates. The unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the deer.”
What kids can learn
When you hear deer in Deuteronomy, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
