sack in 2 Samuel 21
SAK
This thing shows up in 2 Samuel 21:10: “Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Samuel 21:10
“Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.”
What kids can learn
When you hear sack in 2 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Samuel 21:10 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
