ox in Exodus 21
OX
This creature shows up in Exodus 21:32: “If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Exodus 21:32
“If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.”
What kids can learn
When you hear ox in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 21:32 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
