tent in Genesis 18
TENT
This thing shows up in Genesis 18:1: “Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 18:1
“Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.”
