staff in Numbers 13
STAF
This thing shows up in Numbers 13:23: “They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two.…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Numbers 13:23
“They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.”
What kids can learn
When you hear staff in Numbers, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Numbers 13:23 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
