stone in Exodus 20

This thing shows up in Exodus 20:25: “If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.

Exodus 20:25

“If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.”

What kids can learn

When you hear stone in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.

Read Exodus 20:25 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
