swallow in Psalms 35
SWAH-loh
This creature shows up in Psalms 35:25: “Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Psalms 35:25
“Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!””
What kids can learn
When you hear swallow in Psalms, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Psalms 35:25 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
