TIM-ber
This thing shows up in 2 Kings 12:12: “and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to Yahweh’s house, and for all that was…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Kings 12:12
“and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to Yahweh’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.”
What kids can learn
