Hebron in Joshua 11
HEE-brun
This place shows up in Joshua 11:21: “Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 11:21
“Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.”
What kids can learn
When you hear hebron in Joshua, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Joshua 11:21 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
