EYE-urn
This thing shows up in Deuteronomy 4:20: “But Yahweh has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as it is today.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Deuteronomy 4:20
“But Yahweh has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as it is today.”
What kids can learn
