ox in Numbers 7
OX
This creature shows up in Numbers 7:3: “and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Numbers 7:3
“and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle.”
What kids can learn
When you hear ox in Numbers, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Numbers 7:3 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
