hen in Genesis 3
HEN
This creature shows up in Genesis 3:6: “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 3:6
“When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.”
What kids can learn
When you hear hen in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 3:6 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
