sword in Exodus 18
SORD
This thing shows up in Exodus 18:4: “The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 18:4
“The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.””
