Places
Mizpah in Joshua 11
MIZ-puh
This place shows up in Joshua 11:3: “to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 11:3
“to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.”
What kids can learn
When you hear mizpah in Joshua, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Joshua 11:3 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
