harp in Genesis 31
HARP
This thing shows up in Genesis 31:27: “Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 31:27
“Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;”
What kids can learn
When you hear harp in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
