Places
Berea in Ruth 1
buh-REE-uh
This place shows up in Ruth 1:5: “Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Ruth 1:5
“Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.”
What kids can learn
When you hear berea in Ruth, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Ruth 1:5 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
