Places
Hebron in Genesis 13
HEE-brun
This place shows up in Genesis 13:18: “Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 13:18
“Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.”
What kids can learn
When you hear hebron in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 13:18 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
