Animals
donkey in Genesis 32
DON-kee
This creature shows up in Genesis 32:5: “I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 32:5
“I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’””
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 32:5 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
