Places
Edom in Genesis 32
EE-dum
This place shows up in Genesis 32:3: “Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 32:3
“Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.”
What kids can learn
When you hear edom in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 32:3 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
