hare in Jeremiah 39
HAIR
This creature shows up in Jeremiah 39:3: “All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Jeremiah 39:3
“All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.”
What kids can learn
When you hear hare in Jeremiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Jeremiah 39:3 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
