gazelle in Isaiah 13
guh-ZEL
This creature shows up in Isaiah 13:14: “It will happen that like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 13:14
“It will happen that like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.”
What kids can learn
When you hear gazelle in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 13:14 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
