jar in 1 Samuel 26
JAR
This thing shows up in 1 Samuel 26:11: “Yahweh forbid that I should stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
1 Samuel 26:11
“Yahweh forbid that I should stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go.””
What kids can learn
When you hear jar in 1 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Samuel 26:11 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
