Places
Hebron in Genesis 37
HEE-brun
This place shows up in Genesis 37:14: “He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 37:14
“He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.”
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 37:14 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
