Arabic Bible AVD 1999 (الكتاب المقدس)
بِٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱجْتَازُوا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْأَحْمَرِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ، ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي لَمَّا شَرَعَ فِيهِ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ غَرِقُوا.

Explained for Children
Imagine you have a magic carpet that can walk on water. You cross safely because you believe in the magic, but if someone else tries without believing, they fall through. That’s kind of like what happened here!
Historical Background
The Book of Hebrews was written by an unknown author around AD 60 to 70 for Jewish Christians who were struggling with their faith. The passage reflects on the Old Testament story where God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites, showing His power and faithfulness.
Living It Out Today
Think about a time when you had to trust in something bigger than yourself, like starting at a new school or trying a new sport. Your faith can lead you through difficult situations just as it did for the Israelites crossing the Red Sea.
