Places
Gilead in Deuteronomy 3
GIL-ee-ad
This place shows up in Deuteronomy 3:10: “We took all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Deuteronomy 3:10
“We took all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.”
What kids can learn
When you hear gilead in Deuteronomy, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Deuteronomy 3:10 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
