viper in Isaiah 11
VY-per
This creature shows up in Isaiah 11:8: “The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 11:8
“The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.”
What kids can learn
When you hear viper in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 11:8 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
