goat in Genesis 38
GOHT
This creature shows up in Genesis 38:17: “He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 38:17
“He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?””
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 38:17 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
