Animals
ox in Leviticus 27
OX
This creature shows up in Leviticus 27:26: ““‘Only the firstborn among animals, which is made Yahweh’s firstborn, no man may dedicate; whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Leviticus 27:26
““‘Only the firstborn among animals, which is made Yahweh’s firstborn, no man may dedicate; whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s.”
What kids can learn
When you hear ox in Leviticus, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Leviticus 27:26 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
