Explained for Children

Imagine you're in a big sandbox playing with your toys. Suddenly, your dad blows a strong wind with a fan to move the sand, and then he brings a different wind to mix things up. That's kind of like what God did here, but much bigger! He moved the winds to help His people.

Historical Background
