bed in Genesis 50
BED
This thing shows up in Genesis 50:17: “‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 50:17
“‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bed in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 50:17 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
