STOHN
This thing shows up in Exodus 8:26: “Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yahweh our God. Behold, shall we…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 8:26
“Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yahweh our God. Behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won’t they stone us?”
