Places
Goshen in Genesis 45
GOH-shun
This place shows up in Genesis 45:10: “You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 45:10
“You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.”
What kids can learn
When you hear goshen in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 45:10 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
