iron in Joshua 17
EYE-urn
This thing shows up in Joshua 17:16: “The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Joshua 17:16
“The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.””
What kids can learn
When you hear iron in Joshua, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Joshua 17:16 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
