Animals
mule in Isaiah 66
MYOOL
This creature shows up in Isaiah 66:20: “They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 66:20
“They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into Yahweh’s house.”
What kids can learn
When you hear mule in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 66:20 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
