lion in Numbers 25
LYE-un
This creature shows up in Numbers 25:8: “He went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Numbers 25:8
“He went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.”
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 25:8 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
