Places
Nineveh in Nahum 2
NIN-uh-vuh
This place shows up in Nahum 2:8: “But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one looks back.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Nahum 2:8
“But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one looks back.”
What kids can learn
When you hear nineveh in Nahum, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Nahum 2:8 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
