Old Testament

Some of the trades of the twelve tribes of Israel mentioned in the Bible include: Judah - agriculture and leadership; Issachar - farming and agriculture; Benjamin - skilled warriors; Zebulun - seafaring and trade; Asher - skilled in olive oil production; Dan - seafaring and shipbuilding.

Psalm 104:5 says that God: "...set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved."(NIV). This reminds us that God created the earth "to be inhabited"(KJV Isaiah 45:18) forever (Ecclesiastes 1:4/Psalm 37:11,29/Matthew 5:5).

In both the Old and New Testaments, God spoke to Jesus in an audible voice. At Jesus' baptism in the New Testament, God's voice was heard affirming Jesus as His Son. In the Old Testament, on the Mount of Transfiguration, God's voice was also heard confirming Jesus' identity.

There are three covenants. Two which God made with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and Genesis ch.17), and one with Abraham's Israelite descendants in the time of Moses after the Exodus.
1) In Genesis ch.15, the Covenant Between the Parts:
a) God informs Abraham of future events (the Egyptian exile)
b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendants
c) The covenant is finalized through a demonstration of God's presence (see Genesis 15:7-9 and 15:17).
2) In Genesis ch.17, the covenant of circumcision:
a) The promises of many descendants (17:2,3) and of inheriting the land of Canaan are repeated (17:8), but the main thing in this covenant is the promise that God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).
b) God promises that Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), whom they will name Isaac (17:19) and who will be the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham (17:21).
c) The covenant itself is manifested through circumcision, for Abraham and his descendants (17:10).

3) The covenant between God and the Israelite nation (see Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), was made in the time of Moses, with Moses serving as the messenger.
This covenant is one of obedience, to listen to God's voice (Exodus 19:5), which will include the entire Torah (24:12). God, for His part, promised to treasure the Israelites (Exodus 19:5; and see also Deuteronomy 26:16-19). The covenant was manifested through God's giving the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.19-20), and was finalized (on our part) through the sacrifices described in Exodus ch.24.

In the Old Testament, Jacob's wives are Leah and Rachel. He also had two additional wives, Bilhah and Zilpah, who were handmaids of Leah and Rachel.

God commanded King Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites, including men, women, children, and animals, as punishment for their past sins against the Israelites. However, King Saul spared the Amalekite king Agag and the best of the livestock, which led to God rejecting Saul as king.

The mother-in-law of Ruth in the Bible is Naomi. Ruth was married to Naomi's son, but after his death, Ruth chose to stay with Naomi and care for her. Their relationship demonstrates loyalty and love between a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.

The major prophets in the bible are Isaiah, Daniel, Samuel, Jeremiah and Ezekiel.

Note that Samuel is not considered a "major prophet" by most scholars and Daniel is not part of the Major Prophet books in the Hebrew Bible.

The central saving action of the Old Testament is considered to be the covenant between God and the Israelites, where God promises to be their God and they promise to be His people. This covenant forms the basis of their relationship and sets the stage for salvation history as God works to redeem and deliver his people.

Some biblical scholars have dated the life of Abraham as being from 1975-1800 BC or 2008-2183 Anno Mundus (year of the world). These same scholars date the births of Jacob and Esau to 1815 BC or 2168 AM. This would then mean both boys were about 15 years old when the great Patriarch died.

176 pages are in super fudge that book was AWESOME and FUNNY!!!

"Sodom and Gomorrah" is often used as a metaphor to describe a place characterized by sin and immorality. In present times, it is typically used figuratively to reference a city or community where immoral or corrupt behaviors are prevalent.

Isaiah 53 portrays the suffering and death of Christ, often referred to as the "Suffering Servant" passage. It describes the sacrificial nature of Jesus' death and how he would bear the sins of many. This chapter is significant in highlighting the atoning work of Christ on the cross.

The bible says in Revelation 3:5 that those who are going heaven are those whose name is in the book of life. God had recently brought the Israelites out of over 400 years of slavery (Exodus 1-12) and had also revealed His majesty to them when He promulagated His eternal Law on Mt Sinai (Exodus 20). God had called Moses to come and dwell with Him and despite Moses only being away for less than 40 days the Israelites asked Aaron to make them another God (Exodus 32). God was justifiably upset and for the greater good of the multitude (Eccl 8:11) decided to punish them. Moses was basically saying to God "blot out my existence- I would prefer not to go heaven than to see these people that I love perish". God who I believe wanted Moses to interceed for His people decided not to grant Moses request but he mercifully did not destroy all the guilty people. Moses did not want the people that he loves to die and that is why he asked for God to blot his name out and spare the people (Exodus 32:31-33).

The prophet Samuel was told to go to the village of the man called Jesse and to anoint his son as the next king after king Saul, as God was not pleased with him.

But Samuel thought it would be Jesse's eldest son. But it was David the youngest who was chosen as king.

Abraham's daughter is a retelling of the bible story of Arbaham and Isaac. In the bible, Arbraham takes Isaac and is about to sacrifice him because god said to, but is stopped by an angel who tells him he no longer has to sacrifice Isaac because he fears god, then Abraham and Isaac sacrifice a ram instead. In the song though, Abraham is about to sacrifice Isaac and the angel is not stopping, but encouraging him. Instead of Isaac being an only child, he has a nameless sister who was raised to support the sacrificing if her brother ("raised for the slaughter") The daughter stands from where she was hiding and stops Abraham from killing Isaac telling him to sacrifice her instead. In this case she is the ram. She forces him to release isaac or she would kill him with an arrow (" then she raised her bow")

Ezekiel and Daniel are called Exilic prophets because they prophesied during the time of the Israelite exile in Babylon. Their messages addressed the challenges faced by the Israelites during this period and provided hope for restoration and redemption. Their books contain a mix of prophecies about the exile, the eventual return to the Promised Land, and visions of future events.

Human race.

The entire Bible - both Old and New Testaments - is primarily a history of the Children of Israel. Any/all nations that had an interaction with them are mentioned. Some dominant peoples were the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persian, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

Genesis 10 list the descendants of Noah which eventually became all the people living today.

It was Abel he would be praying when he offered Jehovah which is Gods personal name a sacrifice in gen4v4

There are several answers to this question, depending upon how one defines 'covenant' and if they include them in a broad category or break them out.

In Scripture, a Covenant is between God and His Creation. The definition broadly speaking is: A covenant is a contract between two parties, and breaking a covenant may be a violation of law that brings judgment/punishment.

Some believe there are 7 Covenants (6 completed or in progress) as follows:

1. Edenic

2. Adamic

3. Noahic

4. Abrahamic

5. Mosaic or Sinatic or Old Covenant for the Israelites first

6. New Covenant including all mankind up to the Millenium

7. Fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant (Psalms 89;132)and Jeremiah 31-31-34.
