Places
Sidon in Joshua 13
SY-dun
This place shows up in Joshua 13:4: “on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 13:4
“on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;”
What kids can learn
When you hear sidon in Joshua, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Joshua 13:4 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
