The Old Testament
Books of the Old Testament
The Old Testament is made up of thirty-nine books, divided into four main sections.
ot_chartPentateuch
What Is the Pentateuch?
The Pentateuch is the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
The word Pentateuch comes from a Greek word that means five scrolls.
In Hebrew, these books are known as the Torah, which means law
or instruction.
It is God’s instructions for a nation learning to be God’s people.
These five books lay the basis for the rest of the Bible. They explain:
The origin of the universe, of the nations, and of God’s people.
The need for God’s direct intervention in human history—human sin.
How God acts in the lives of his people.
Main Characters
God: God is the Pentateuch’s central focus. Each story reveals something about God, his character, or how he works.
Abraham: Abraham’s calling shows God’s initiative to rescue humanity from sin and death.
Israel: God decided to work his plan of salvation in and through Israel, a chosen people.
Moses: Moses’ life was bound to the life of God’s people and to God himself.
The Promised Land: The land is the concrete representation of God’s promises to Abraham. The Israelites’ relationship with the land becomes a constant theme in the Pentateuch and beyond.

pent_mapGenesis
The beginnings of creation,
the nations, and the Israelites
Written c. 1446–1406
bc
by Moses
Purpose To show that God is sovereign and loves his creation.
Summary The book of Genesis is a book of origins: the good creation of the world, the start of human problems, and the beginning of God’s solution to those problems. The stories in Genesis reveal deeply broken relationships: separation between God and his creation; rivalries among family members; and violence between people groups. Yet we also see God beginning to restore the brokenness by choosing a family—Abraham’s family—and guiding and rescuing them along the way.
Outline
The beginning of the world (1–2)
The beginning of nations (3–10)
The beginning of the Israelites (11–50)
Jesus in Genesis As a book of origins, Genesis shows the origin of humanity’s greatest predicament: sin. It also shows that God’s mercy promised his own solution to this quandary: And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel
(Genesis 3:15). God’s promises in Genesis point to his final and perfect solution for humanity’s fallen state: Jesus, God’s own Son.
Key Verse
The Lord said to Abraham: I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants.
—Genesis 17:7
Exodus
God’s deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt
Written c. 1446–1406
bc
by Moses
Purpose To show God’s faithfulness to the covenant and provide Israel with guidelines for holy living.
Summary The book of Exodus tells the story of God’s people moving from bondage to freedom. God chooses a man named Moses to lead the Israelites (Hebrews) out of slavery in Egypt and into the wilderness where they can worship God. The God of Israel proves himself to be the only true God, defeating the false gods of Egypt. At Mt. Sinai, God gives his people instructions on how to live as a community of holy people.
Outline
Israel in Egypt (1–15)
Israel on the way toward Sinai (15–18)
Israel at Sinai (19–40)
Jesus in Exodus Moses’ ministry as judge, priest, and prophet anticipated Jesus’ own ministry (Hebrews 3:1–6). The Passover celebration and sacrifice (Exodus 12) help us understand Christ’s sacrifice on the cross on our behalf. In the exodus, God liberated Israel from the bondage of Pharaoh with great acts of power. Now, God has freed us from the bondage of sin and death with the greatest act of grace and power: Jesus’ death and resurrection.
