rod in Genesis 41
ROD
This thing shows up in Genesis 41:34: “Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 41:34
“Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.”
What kids can learn
When you hear rod in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
