gnat in Deuteronomy 29
NAT
This creature shows up in Deuteronomy 29:28: “Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Deuteronomy 29:28
“Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.””
What kids can learn
