worm in Exodus 16
WURM
This creature shows up in Exodus 16:20: “Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Exodus 16:20
“Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.”
What kids can learn
When you hear worm in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 16:20 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
