A man from Israel [IZ-ree-el] dove into the Mediterranean [MED-i-teh-ray-nee-an] Sea. What did he spy in the sand?

It was a sword crusted with sea creatures. It is from long ago!

Pray: The Lord’s Prayer says, “And lead us not into temptation.” Remember to ask God every day to keep you from wanting things that others have.

Read More: Scuba diver Shlomi Katzin spotted what looked like a sword on his dive. He was afraid shifting sand would soon hide the sword again. He took it to Israel’s Antiquities Authority. People there believe the sword was used by a Christian soldier from Europe. He might have fought in a crusade. (That was a war to take control of the Holy Land away from Muslims). The sword will be cleaned and studied. Mr. Katzin did not keep the sword. He did the right thing. Leviticus 6:1-7 tells us what God expects someone to do if he has found something lost and lies about it.
