lamb in Exodus 13
LAM
This creature shows up in Exodus 13:13: “Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Exodus 13:13
“Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons.”
What kids can learn
When you hear lamb in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
