What are some losses of a child in the Bible? It can be through death such as David, or through other means such as Joseph being sold into slavery or the prodigal son leaving home or even having to give up their child in the case of Moses. Adult or Child. Here is what I have so far. Thanks for any input. I know @Omegaman 3.0 and @George and @watchman would know some. OLD TESTAMENT Eve (Genesis 4:1-16)- Cain killed her son Abel Hagar (Genesis 6:1-17) Forced surrogacy, unable to keep the child Judah (Genesis 46:12) God killed his son they were wicked Jacob (Genesis 37::18-36) Lost his son Joseph Yochoved (Baby Moses) (Exodus 2:-10) Had to give her child up Passover (Exodus 13:2) God instructed that the first-born male be killed Aaron (Leviticus 10) His sons Abihu and Nadab Naomi (Ruth 1:3-18) Lost both of her sons Eli (1 Samuel 4) Hophni & Phineas Samuel (Samuel 9) Lost his sons Abijah and Joel David (2 Samuel 12:14-31) His son died, and David lamented.

She did give him up and she would have dealt with that loss and grief I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really lost, ...not to be "found" again, ...or have they just been "removed" to a different place? I believe the Bible teaches that children, who die before they have reached the age of accountability, ...go directly to be with Jesus. Yes, when we lose a child to death, it's very painful, ...I don't deny that, but, ...it's "painful" because Adam was created in the image and likeness of God and God, ...and he wasn't "created" to die, ...God didn't "program" into Adam and all of his descendants a "file" that we can put death into and file it away, ...out of sight, out of mind, "forget" about it so to speak. However, ...anticipating our grief over the loss of our precious child, ...He has provided us a chance of a reunion, ...for a born again parent, ...that "reunion" is for certain, ...for an unregenerated person, ...maybe Father allowed that "death" so they would come to Him for Salvation and they would be reunited with their child. I was taught by my pastor that when someone we love dies, ...we don't ask the question "why," but rather "who" and when we focus on Jesus He gives us His Peace that goes way beyond our human understanding and intellect, ...and His Peace fills the "void" of that missing "file" that wasn't "programmed" into us.

She must have moved to the Palace, she was the Milk Nanny for Moses. Who Nursed Moses? His own Mother who was Hired to be the Milk Nurse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
