donkey in Genesis 45
DON-kee
This creature shows up in Genesis 45:23: “He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 45:23
“He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.”
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 45:23 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
