gold in Exodus 11
GOLD
This thing shows up in Exodus 11:2: “Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 11:2
“Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.””
What kids can learn
When you hear gold in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 11:2 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
