locust in Deuteronomy 28
LOH-kust
This creature shows up in Deuteronomy 28:38: “You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in; for the locust will consume it.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Deuteronomy 28:38
“You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in; for the locust will consume it.”
What kids can learn
When you hear locust in Deuteronomy, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Deuteronomy 28:38 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
