sword in Exodus 22
SORD
This thing shows up in Exodus 22:24: “and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 22:24
“and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.”
What kids can learn
When you hear sword in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 22:24 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
