Hebron in Genesis 35
HEE-brun
This place shows up in Genesis 35:27: “Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 35:27
“Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.”
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 35:27 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
