moth in Genesis 28
MAWTH
This creature shows up in Genesis 28:2: “Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 28:2
“Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.”
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 28:2 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
