sheep in Genesis 31
SHEEP
This creature shows up in Genesis 31:19: “Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Genesis 31:19
“Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.”
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 31:19 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
