Ezekiel 5 · Grade 3

A Small Number Kept

Name Date

Read the Story

God gave Ezekiel another sign. He was to cut his hair and beard. Then he used balances to weigh the hair and divide it into three parts. Each part showed what would happen to the people when the city fell.

But God told Ezekiel to take a small number of hairs and tie them in the folds of his robe. This showed that God would keep a few of His people.

God said Jerusalem was in the middle of the nations. She should have shown them God's ways. Instead she did not walk in God's statutes or keep His ordinances.

Memory Verse

“You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe.”
