gazelle in Proverbs 6
guh-ZEL
This creature shows up in Proverbs 6:5: “Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Proverbs 6:5
“Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.”
What kids can learn
When you hear gazelle in Proverbs, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Proverbs 6:5 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
