Places
Berea in Genesis 27
buh-REE-uh
This place shows up in Genesis 27:45: “until your brother’s anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 27:45
“until your brother’s anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?””
What kids can learn
When you hear berea in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 27:45 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
