sword in Genesis 3
SORD
This thing shows up in Genesis 3:24: “So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 3:24
“So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.”
What kids can learn
When you hear sword in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 3:24 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
