Places
Bethel in Judges 1
BETH-ul
This place shows up in Judges 1:22: “The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Judges 1:22
“The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and Yahweh was with them.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bethel in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
