stone in Genesis 28
STOHN
This thing shows up in Genesis 28:11: “He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 28:11
“He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.”
What kids can learn
When you hear stone in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
