Places
Mizpah in Judges 21
MIZ-puh
This place shows up in Judges 21:1: “Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Judges 21:1
“Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.””
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 21:1 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
