oil in Exodus 16
OYL
This thing shows up in Exodus 16:23: “He said to them, “This is that which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 16:23
“He said to them, “This is that which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’””
What kids can learn
When you hear oil in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 16:23 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
