gold in Exodus 3
GOLD
This thing shows up in Exodus 3:22: “But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 3:22
“But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.””
What kids can learn
