hen in Genesis 4
HEN
This creature shows up in Genesis 4:12: “From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 4:12
“From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.””
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 4:12 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
