donkey in Genesis 16
DON-kee
This creature shows up in Genesis 16:12: “He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposite all…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 16:12
“He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposite all of his brothers.””
What kids can learn
When you hear donkey in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 16:12 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
