Animals
goat in Genesis 37
GOHT
This creature shows up in Genesis 37:31: “They took Joseph’s coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 37:31
“They took Joseph’s coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.”
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 37:31 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
