swallow in Exodus 7
SWAH-loh
This creature shows up in Exodus 7:12: “For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Exodus 7:12
“For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.”
What kids can learn
When you hear swallow in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 7:12 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
