Mini-Lesson: Who vs. Whom, Bible Style! JUST FOR FUN

Here's a game for ya. Something fun to do with the kids, or other adults.

Start with a simple question:
“Have you ever wondered which one to use... who or whom? It’s like picking the right shoe for your foot!”

1. Explain the difference with a story:

• Who is the doer: the one walking, talking, or praying. Think of who like a superhero saving the day!

• Whom is the one being helped, hugged, or listened to, the receiver of the action.

2. The “He/Him” test — the magic trick:

• If you can say he or she instead of the word, use who.

• If you can say him or her, use whom.

Example:
“Who is the bravest? (He is the bravest!)”
“To whom did you give your Bible? (I gave it to him.)”

3. Scripture examples to practice:

• “Blessed is the man who loves YHWH.”

• “To whom shall I cry in the night?”

• “The Lord helps who trusts Him.”

• “With whom do you share your joy?”

4. Fun challenge for the Everyone:
Make up your own Bible-style sentences with blanks for who or whom, and then test each other using the “He/Him” test.

5. Bonus — sprinkle some Hebrew or Aramaic words:
Teach them “Maranatha” means “Our Lord, come!” and remind them that the language of Yeshua is full of power, just like using the right word in English!
