sheep in Exodus 12

This creature shows up in Exodus 12:5: “Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.

Exodus 12:5

“Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:”

What kids can learn

When you hear sheep in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.

Read Exodus 12:5 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
