owl in Genesis 38
OWL
This creature shows up in Genesis 38:26: “Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.” He knew her again no more.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 38:26
“Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.” He knew her again no more.”
What kids can learn
When you hear owl in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 38:26 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
