Animals
lion in Genesis 49
LYE-un
This creature shows up in Genesis 49:9: “Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 49:9
“Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?”
What kids can learn
When you hear lion in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 49:9 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
