moth in Genesis 17
MAWTH
This creature shows up in Genesis 17:16: “I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 17:16
“I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.””
What kids can learn
When you hear moth in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 17:16 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
