Animals
lion in Judges 14
LYE-un
This creature shows up in Judges 14:5: “Then went Samson down with his father and his mother to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Judges 14:5
“Then went Samson down with his father and his mother to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared against him.”
What kids can learn
When you hear lion in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Judges 14:5 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
