stone in Genesis 11
STOHN
This thing shows up in Genesis 11:3: “They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 11:3
“They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.”
What kids can learn
When you hear stone in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
