Places
Hebron in Genesis 23
HEE-brun
This place shows up in Genesis 23:2: “Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 23:2
“Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.”
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 23:2 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
