Objects
basket in Deuteronomy 26
BAS-ket
This thing shows up in Deuteronomy 26:2: “that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your God gives…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Deuteronomy 26:2
“that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.”
What kids can learn
When you hear basket in Deuteronomy, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Deuteronomy 26:2 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
