Animals
sheep in Genesis 21
SHEEP
This creature shows up in Genesis 21:27: “Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 21:27
“Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.”
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 21:27 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
