oil in Genesis 5
OYL
This thing shows up in Genesis 5:29: “He named him Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, caused by the ground which Yahweh has…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 5:29
“He named him Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, caused by the ground which Yahweh has cursed.””
What kids can learn
When you hear oil in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
