mule in 2 Kings 5
MYOOL
This creature shows up in 2 Kings 5:17: “Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ burden of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
2 Kings 5:17
“Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ burden of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahweh.”
What kids can learn
When you hear mule in 2 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Kings 5:17 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
