Places
Sinai in Exodus 16
SY-nye
This place shows up in Exodus 16:1: “They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Exodus 16:1
“They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.”
What kids can learn
When you hear sinai in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Exodus 16:1 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
