cup in Genesis 47
KUP
This thing shows up in Genesis 47:3: “Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 47:3
“Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.””
What kids can learn
When you hear cup in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
