fish in Exodus 7
FISH
This creature shows up in Exodus 7:18: “The fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.”’”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Exodus 7:18
“The fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.”’””
What kids can learn
When you hear fish in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 7:18 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
