goat in Genesis 15
GOHT
This creature shows up in Genesis 15:9: “He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 15:9
“He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.””
What kids can learn
When you hear goat in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 15:9 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
