locust in Judges 7
LOH-kust
This creature shows up in Judges 7:12: “The Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Judges 7:12
“The Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is on the seashore for multitude.”
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 7:12 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
