staff in Exodus 21
STAF
This thing shows up in Exodus 21:19: “if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 21:19
“if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.”
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 21:19 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
