Places
Lebanon in Joshua 1
LEB-uh-nun
This place shows up in Joshua 1:4: “From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 1:4
“From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.”
What kids can learn
When you hear lebanon in Joshua, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Joshua 1:4 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
