Places
Bethel in Joshua 12
BETH-ul
This place shows up in Joshua 12:9: “the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 12:9
“the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;”
What kids can learn
When you hear bethel in Joshua, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
