4. Some critics of the Old Testament have said that the writings of Exodus are “oral traditions” which were handed down for centuries until some priests wrote them down to preserve them.

Note about clipart: We do not know what Jesus, or angels or any Bible character looks like. We use pictures to represent Bible people and places to help the children to relate to the story. Please explain to your child that no one knows what any of it looked like except from what we read about in the Bible or in history books.
