donkey in Genesis 36
DON-kee
This creature shows up in Genesis 36:24: “These are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the donkeys of Zibeon…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 36:24
“These are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the donkeys of Zibeon his father.”
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 36:24 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
