iron in Genesis 4
EYE-urn
This thing shows up in Genesis 4:22: “Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 4:22
“Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. Tubal Cain’s sister was Naamah.”
What kids can learn
When you hear iron in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
