timber in Ezra 6
TIM-ber
This thing shows up in Ezra 6:4: “with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Ezra 6:4
“with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.”
What kids can learn
When you hear timber in Ezra, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Ezra 6:4 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
