17 GENESIS The title of this book, Genesis, comes from the Greek translation of the Old Testament, Septuagint, which means "origin" or "source".

Of course the most important thing is the beginning of Israel. Author DATE & PLACE WRITTEN Moses Moses lived in about 00 B.C.

God created the universe and he created man, whose purpose is to rule over the whole earth and to demonstrate the glory of God. But man failed and fell, and yet God didn t give up on his purpose and his plan. In man s failure, God manifested his glory and his grace.

19 EXODUS The Septuagint refers to the Exodus as depart or leave, depicting how men are originally enslaved by sin and God s salvation delivered them from their bondage to sin and the world, made holy unto God. (Exodus :-) Author DATE & PLACE WRITTEN THEME KEY VERSES Exodus : Moses Desert of Mt. Sinai This book records God s deliverance of His chosen people, as well as the institution of the Law, His instruction to Moses as to the design of the tabernacle, revealing His plan and purpose for redemption. Therefore, the main thrust of this book is salvation. Thus, this book is commonly referred to as the Book of Redemption. This is the most detailed and specific book in the Bible about God s redemption. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey CHARACTERISTICS. The miracles recorded in this book are more numerous than any of the Old Testament books.. This book particularly contains many typology (symbolism), especially regarding Christ and salvation.

21 LEVITICUS The Hebrew name of this book means "and God calls" signifying that God Himself spoke to the Israelites in the Tent of Meeting. The Septuagint calls it Leviticus in accordance with its contents. Author DATE & PLACE WRITTEN THEME PURPOSE IN WRITING Moses The book s chronicles began on the first day of the first month of the second year, after the sons of Israel left Egypt when the Tabernacle was set up, until the twentieth day of the second month when the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle (Exodus 0:). This book must have been completed in that period or shortly thereafter, in the wilderness of Sinai. God redeemed the Israelites from Egypt, calling them out of the nations to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation unto God (Exodus :). Therefore, the thrust of this book is "holiness" "Be holy, because I, the LORD your God, am holy" (Leviticus : ). Moses wrote down what God told him with the intention of teaching the Israelites to follow the laws and regulations of the covenant. These rules and regulations can be broadly divided into the following three aspects: KEY VERSES Leviticus :- Leviticus :- OUTLINE The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said, Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock. The Lord said to Moses, Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy. Regulations on Sacrifices Ordinances of Ministry The Holy People The Feast of the Lord Other Regulations and Warnings The Ordinance of Sacrifices The Establishment of the Law The Cases for Penalties to have a deep understanding of the seriousness of sin to understand God's requirements for human living and conduct to let them know that anyone who breaks the law will be punished by God

25 DEUTERONOMY This book is the last volume of the Pentateuch. The Septuagint refers to it as the Second Law, because it is a restating of the law that was given before.

27 JOSHUA In the Old Testament, historical books follow immediately after Moses Pentateuch. The Book of Joshua is the first of these twelve historical books.

Author DATE & PLACE WRITTEN THEME Joshua This book covers a period of about years, from - BC. It is situated in the plains of Moab and the land of Canaan. The primary message of this book is that God is faithful. He is faithful to his promise to His people. He led them into Canaan in accordance to His promise. The second message is that God is righteous. He hates sin and must punish sin. He caused the Israelites to fail in Ai and He appointed the destruction of the seven tribes of Canaan. All these are a result of His righteousness and campaign against sin. CHARACTERISTICS The Book of Joshua is a book on the fulfillment of God s salvation. The first step in God s salvation is to lead his people out of Egypt, free them from their slavery. The second step of His salvation for His people is to lead them into Canaan, to enjoy God s inheritance. This book is also a book on warfare. OUTLINE - Entry into the Land - Conquest of the Land - Distribution of the Land - Farewell KEY VERSES Joshua :- Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them to the Israelites.
