Places
Goshen in Exodus 8
GOH-shun
This place shows up in Exodus 8:22: “I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Exodus 8:22
“I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am Yahweh on the earth.”
What kids can learn
When you hear goshen in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
