goat in Genesis 31
GOHT
This creature shows up in Genesis 31:10: “During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 31:10
“During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.”
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 31:10 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
