chisel in Exodus 34
CHIZ-ul
This thing shows up in Exodus 34:1: “Yahweh said to Moses, “Chisel two stone tablets like the first. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 34:1
“Yahweh said to Moses, “Chisel two stone tablets like the first. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.”
What kids can learn
When you hear chisel in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
