lion in Numbers 24
LYE-un
This creature shows up in Numbers 24:9: “He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Numbers 24:9
“He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed.””
What kids can learn
When you hear lion in Numbers, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Numbers 24:9 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
