locust in Judges 6
LOH-kust
This creature shows up in Judges 6:5: “For they came up with their livestock and their tents. They came in as locusts for multitude. Both they and their camels were without…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Judges 6:5
“For they came up with their livestock and their tents. They came in as locusts for multitude. Both they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land to destroy it.”
What kids can learn
When you hear locust in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Judges 6:5 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
