staff in Exodus 12
STAF
This thing shows up in Exodus 12:11: “This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 12:11
“This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh’s Passover.”
What kids can learn
When you hear staff in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 12:11 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
