Papyrus

"So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time."



Last night my mom was reading me Job. We found a word I did not know, Job 9:26They skim past like boats of papyrus. Today we found out what that word meant. This is what it means:

Papyrus is an early form of paper made from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge that was once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt. Papyrus usually grows 2-3 meters (5-9 feet) tall, although some have reached as high as 5 meters (15 feet). Papyrus is first known to have been used in ancient Egypt (at least as far back as the First dynasty), but it was also widely used throughout the Mediterranean region, as well as inland parts of Europe and south-west Asia.

Do you know what happened to Job? You can pop into your Bible and read about Job. Once your done reading Job you can know that he got DOUBLE the amount that he had before his test. So let make sure that we remember that the tempter did bad things not God. So we must stay truthful to God and in the end we will get DOUBLE what we had.
