fish in Nehemiah 3
FISH
This creature shows up in Nehemiah 3:3: “The sons of Hassenaah built the fish gate. They laid its beams, and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Nehemiah 3:3
“The sons of Hassenaah built the fish gate. They laid its beams, and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars.”
What kids can learn
When you hear fish in Nehemiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Nehemiah 3:3 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
