Places
Mizpah in Judges 11
MIZ-puh
This place shows up in Judges 11:11: “Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. Jephthah spoke all his words before Yahweh…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Judges 11:11
“Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. Jephthah spoke all his words before Yahweh in Mizpah.”
What kids can learn
When you hear mizpah in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Judges 11:11 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
