fox in Nehemiah 4
FOX
This creature shows up in Nehemiah 4:3: “Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Nehemiah 4:3
“Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall.””
What kids can learn
When you hear fox in Nehemiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Nehemiah 4:3 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
