mule in 1 Chronicles 12
MYOOL
This creature shows up in 1 Chronicles 12:40: “Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
1 Chronicles 12:40
“Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.”
What kids can learn
When you hear mule in 1 Chronicles, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Chronicles 12:40 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
