شرح للأطفال
Imagine you have a beautiful garden with a fence around it to keep others from picking your flowers. But someone knocked down the fence, and now everyone can come and take your flowers. That's what this verse is talking about, but instead of a garden, it's talking about a special place God made for His people.
