oil in Genesis 35
OYL
This thing shows up in Genesis 35:14: “Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 35:14
“Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.”
What kids can learn
When you hear oil in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
