donkey in Genesis 24
DON-kee
This creature shows up in Genesis 24:35: “Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 24:35
“Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.”
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 24:35 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
