sheep in Genesis 20
SHEEP
This creature shows up in Genesis 20:14: “Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 20:14
“Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.”
What kids can learn
When you hear sheep in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 20:14 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
