Places
Bethlehem in Judges 17
BETH-leh-hem
This place shows up in Judges 17:7: “There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Judges 17:7
“There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bethlehem in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Judges 17:7 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
