Temple Vocabulary Card

Temple

Definition:
The temple was a place to go to worship God and offer sacrifices. It is where God lived among the Jews.

What God said about it:
· The temple was in Jerusalem.
· God gave instructions about how to build the temple to David and Solomon.
· The Ark of the Covenant was inside the temple.
· Deut 12:13-14 says the only place to worship God was at the temple in Jerusalem.


I also had drawings of the temple here, but I didn't want to violate any copyright laws. I'll attach a photo of the card later, if I remember. This is the text, though.

Passover Vocabulary Card

Passover

Definition:
Yearly festival that reminded the Israelites of how God used Moses to bring them out of Egypt.

What God said about it:
· Exodus 12 gives the Israelites rules about how and when to eat the Passover.
· God wanted the Israelites to remember every year how He had brought them from Egypt and saved them from slavery.
· Jesus ate the Passover with the disciples.



I know these are basic, but this isn't a lesson, merely a reminder of things the kids should already have been taught. Again, on mine, there is a drawing of the food and a man painting door posts with blood.

Sacrifice Vocabulary Card

This is a vocabulary card. It's not the same as a Wise Word, although sacrifice certainly has been a wise word in the past. This JUST DEFINES the word, it doesn't give application to the word.





The text is as follows:
Sacrifice

Definition:
Offer something to God, often by burning

What God said about it:
· God had a lot to say about sacrifices.
· God had many rules about sacrifices, who could offer them, where they could be made, and how many times a year, what could be offered for each type of sacrifice.
· Some sacrifices were burned, some sacrifices were given to the priests to eat, and some were presented (given) to the Lord.
