lion in Joshua 22
LYE-un
This creature shows up in Joshua 22:22: ““The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Joshua 22:22
““The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don’t save us today),”
What kids can learn
When you hear lion in Joshua, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Joshua 22:22 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
