honey in Deuteronomy 27
HUN-ee
This thing shows up in Deuteronomy 27:3: “You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Deuteronomy 27:3
“You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.”
What kids can learn
When you hear honey in Deuteronomy, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Deuteronomy 27:3 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
