gate in Exodus 20
GAYT
This thing shows up in Exodus 20:10: “but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 20:10
“but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;”
What kids can learn
When you hear gate in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 20:10 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
