This was all made in six days

God was happy with his work

Genesis 2

God rested on the seventh day

God created man by breathing into his nostrils the breath of life

Created a garden in the east of Eden

There was gold, rivers, and onyx stone there

He named the man Adam

God took one of Adams ribs out and then sewed him back up

Adam named all the cattle, fowls, and beasts

With the rib of Adam, God created a woman

Both did not have clothes but were not ashamed

Genesis 3

The garden had a lot a plants

The woman asked if she may eat the fruit from the trees

God said no they will die if they do

The woman ate it anyways and convinced Adam to eat some too

God was infuriated

God cursed them with sorrow and the feeling of guilt

Adam named the woman who was his wife Eve

The tree was the tree of life

Genesis 4

The two had a child named Cain and Abel

Cain murdered Abel

Cain could not take Gods punishment and the guilt was too much

Cain ran away from Eden

And Cain's wife had a baby named Enoch and they built a city to protect them

Many more sons were created and the population just kept on growing

Genesis 6

They began to have daughters

Themen that were born took the daughters as wives

God saw wickedness on Earth and could not bear it

God wanted to destroy all man

A man named Noah found grace in God

Noah was a perfect man who had three sons named Shem, Ham, and Japheth

Told was Noah to make an ark made of gopher wood

Genesis 7

Noah took two of every species (one female, one male)and puts them on the ark preparing for
the flood God has created

15 cubits high

The waters continued to rise and stayed very high

The flood lasted 40 days

Genesis 8

God made a wind blow o all of the extra water

After 40 days he started letting out a dove

Then god told Noah saying to get out of the ark

They walked on Earth and it was dry and safe and God was happy

Genesis 9

God blessed Noah and his sons

God promised to never destroy anything again

God wants Noah to spread out and fill the earth

He said man cannot eat meat with blood in it

covenant=promise

Genesis 11

Everyone spoke the same language language

Land of Shinar is where they lived

They had brick and burned it to turn it into mortar

This was the tower of babel

The lord scattered them across the earth

Genesis 18

God visits Abraham

They talked about sodom

The sin is very grievous and Abraham stood before the lord

He said if he finds 50 righteous within the city will he destroy the place and everyone for their
despair

God agrees

Abraham cannot find the 50 people

so the Abraham asks for 45 and God said no

Abraham continues to ask but God still says no

God leaves and Abraham goes back home

Genesis 19

Two angels came to Sodom

Lot was sitting at the gate and he greeted them

He brings them into his house and feeds them

The people of Sodom are curious to know who he let into their village

He tries to keep it a secret

God was going to destroy them and Lot

The villagers had been sent by God to destroy them

Lot had his wife and his daughters run away with the two angels but Lot stayed

Then they took Lot as well

 God destroyed Sodom once lot entered Zoar

Their one command was to not look back but Lots wife did and when she did this she turned
into a pillar of salt because she disobeyed him

Genesis 21

When she was 90 she had the baby

Abraham named his son Isaac, which means "one who laughs" in Hebrew

Abraham circumcises Isaac when he's eight days old as he promised God

He celebrates Isaac's circumcision with a party

Sarah sees Ishmael

Ishmael = "the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham"

Sarah is very upset and Ishmael just laughs at her

Sarah tells Abraham to eject "this slave girl with her son"

Abraham listens to Sarah and God tells him not to worry about it

Abraham sends Hagar away

She and Ishmael wander through the wilderness of Beersheba

God's messenger comes to tell Hagar that "Ishmael's descendants will be a great nation"

God gives them water

Important treaties were made Abraham and Abimelech

Genesis 22

God told him to go to Moriah and oer Isaac as a burnt oering

Burnt oering= a gift to God

Due to his previous promises Isaac is very important

After three days he arrives at the place

Isaac sees the wood and the fire and asks where the sheep is

Abraham says "God will provide the lamb for a burnt oering, my son" (22:8 NRSV)

Isaac is bound to the altar that Abraham made by Abraham

Isaac survives 9 out of the 10 plagues

Isaac is on the altar when Abraham grabs the knife to kill Isaac

The deity's messenger tells Abraham that he doesn't have to kill Isaac

God believed that Abraham was loyal so he did not have to sacrifice Isaac

Abraham sacrifices a ram instead of his son.

The messenger confirms the covenant

Genesis 25

Isaac marries Rebekah at the age of 40

He prays that Rebekah gets pregnant

Rebekah becomes pregnant with two babies

The babies move a lot in her womb

Rebekah asks the deity what's going on

The Lord tells her that one baby is stronger than the other

The older child will serve the younger

The first twin born is Esau

Esau is red and very hairy

The second twin is named Jacob

Jacob is plain, kinda average looking

 Isaac loves Esau

Esau is a great hunter who provides

But Rebekah loves Jacob

Jacob cooks stew

Esau comes in from hunting

He is starving, and is rude when he asks for "red stu" (25:30 NRSV)

Edom is Hebrew for "red stu"

Edom will be one of Israel's future enemies

Jacob says that Esau can have stew for his birthrights

Esau agrees

Jacob tells him that he'll work for seven years to marry

7 years later, Laban throws a big wedding party

After Laban delivers Leah into Jacob' s tent Jacob thinks it's Rachel so they have sex

In the morning Jacob realizes it's Leah

He confronts Laban about this and Laban points out that it's not the regional custom to marry
o a younger sibling when the older is available

Laban says that Jacob can marry Leah before the 7 years of work are finished

Jacob takes the deal

God makes Leah fertile because he feels bad that she was a second choice

Leah has 8 sons, Rachel has 3

Jacob asks Laban to pay him with speckled goats

Jacob has devised a way for the flocks to produce more speckled goats

Genesis 37

Joseph is the son of Jacob

Jacob's favorite son is Joseph

As a gift, Jacob gives him a fancy coat

He has two dreams about how he is better than his brothers

His brothers because me very angry

Joseph's brothers are pasturing their father's sheep at Shechem

This is when Israel sends Joseph out to meet with his brothers and report back to him

Joseph's brothers see him coming and plot to kill him

One plan is that they kill Joseph, then throw him into a pit and say some wild animals killed him

The other plan is to throw Joseph into a pit, but don't kill him

When Joseph arrives, his brothers take his coat and throw him in the pit

The brothers are eating and see a group of Ishmaelite businessmen traveling from Gilead to
Egypt

Judah, one of Joseph's older brothers, suggests selling Joseph to the Ishmaelites so that

technically they are not guilty of murder and they can make some money

The brothers sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver

The brothers take Joseph's robe, kill a goat, dip the robe in the blood, and bring it to their
father to fake his death

The businessmen who bought Joseph take him to Egypt

They sell him to "the captain of the guard" (37:36 NRSV)

Exodus 1

A new god-king Pharaoh had the power in Egypt

This was after Joseph's time

The Pharaoh didn't think about the help Joseph gave his predecessor

The Pharaoh gets afraid about all these Israelites and thinks they'll turn on the Egyptians if
there's a war

The Pharaoh decides to make the Israelites do forced labor for Egypt in service to their new
civilization

The Israelites population keeps on growing

Pharaoh asks two Hebrews (Puah and Shiphrah) to kill all the Israelite male babies so they stay
small

The midwives lie to Pharaoh about killing the babies

They are rewarded by God for saving lives

The Pharaoh finds out

He then orders all Egyptians to kill newborn Israelite boys

Exodus 2

A Hebrew child is born from a woman

She hides him for three years

She then hides him in the bushes along the Nile and asks Miriam to watch over him

The bot is seen by the Pharaoh's daughter while she is taking a bath in the Nile

She thinks he is cute and asks Miriam if she can have him

She says yes

The Pharaoh's daughter names the boy Moses

Exodus 3

Moses is guarding his father-in-law's flock of sheep

He wanders with them "beyond the wilderness" to Horeb

Horeb is the mountain of God

An angel of God appears to him in the form of a bush that's on fire but doesn't burn

God tells Moses that he's back to help the Israelites out of Egypt

Moses is told that he has to lead them

Moses wonders why he was chosen for the job and asks God

God tells him not to worry

God reveals his name to Moses "the God of your ancestors."

Exodus 7

God comes to Moses and Aaron

He says to Moses, "I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your
prophet" (7:1)

Moses is not becoming a god but he is gaining power

God again promises to make Pharaoh stubborn so that the Egyptians can witness God's
power

Aaron uses his powers to turn stas into snakes

The Egyptian priests turn all of their stas into snakes, as well

But Aaron's snake eats all the others

With permission from God, Moses and Aaron use their power to turn the Nile's waters into
blood

The fish all died and the Egyptians had to dig wells for water

Again, Pharaoh's priests replicate the miracle, and so Pharaoh is unimpressed by God's power

Exodus 8

Moses said if they don't get released he will bring a plague of frogs

Pharaoh prayed they would go away, and once they were, his heart headend once again

All the dust become gnats Because of Moses, God, and Aaron

The magicians who had been counteracting God, said they could not fix this and it was the
finger of God, but Pharaoh would not listen

Then swarms of flies came

He again prayed in return for them getting to sacrifice, but once the flies were gone, he said no
again

Exodus 9

God says to Moses to tell Pharaoh that God will bring a plague on the live stock of the
Egyptians but he will make sure not to hit the Israelites live stock

Pharaoh was unchanged even though God did this the next day

He tossed dust I front of pharaoh and all Egyptians had awful boils, but god hardened his heart
and he was very stubborn once again

God has spared their lives thus far, so he will now bring on a terrible hail, and if they don't get
shelter all will surely die

God told Moses to tell Pharaoh this but he didn't change

Pharaoh said he will them them go no problem, but as soon as the storm was gone he went
back to his stubborn ways

Exodus 10

Moses told next of a storm of locusts' that would consume the town

The men were not allowed to leave even though Pharaoh's ocials started to think that they
should

The locusts came and ate all the green things not destroyed by the hail and the land was left
bare

Pharaoh would not let them go and God hardened

God brought a darkness on the town, let all the people go, but not the livestock, and Pharaoh
said he never wanted to see Moses again, and if he did he threatened to kill him

Moses vowed never to return

Exodus 11

God planned to kill first born sons all across Egyptians

Pharaoh would not listen because he hardened his heart God told Moses

Teaches a lesson about the stubbornness of people

Exodus 12

To protect the Israelites, God tells them to slaughter animals and put the blood of it on for
frames so when he come to slay the firstborn they will be spared

Also told them about specific way they have to eat during the time, Lords Passover it was

called

God told them Passover would be a new tradition

The tradition now represents what God did for them by passing over their houses when he
slashed the Egyptians

Pharaoh was finally going to let them go

This is a powerful message about power, and what taking things away does to a person

Finally they left Egypt after much struggle

Keep hope and all will end up okay

God gave very strict rules, most involving circumcision

Exodus 13:17-20

God led the people out of Egypt on safer route because he thought if they came upon war they
would flee back

Human nature tells us to run when faced with hardship

As requested Moses took Joseph's bones

Safe route is the road most traveled

Exodus 14

Told Moses to make his people move in a way to make pharaoh think they are lost, and God
would harden his heart, and gain glory with pharaoh, and show he is the lord

Pharaoh an changes his mind and was mad he let the serviced of the Israelites go

Moses's people were mad and thought he brought them to the desert to die

They said they would rather serve the Egyptians

God told Moses to hold up his sta and the sea will divide so they can continue through water
on dry land

God said he would gain glory through hardening the Egyptians hearts and making them go I'm
after Moses's people

The waters parted and they moved forward

realizing God was fighting against them, the Egyptians said they wanted to abort after God
jammed the chariots

God had Moses put his sta up again to flood the sea once more, killing all the Egyptians on
the mission

The Israelites now feared God, and his servant Moses

Judges 14

Samson saw a lion approaching and slayed it with his bare hands

This was a gift from God

They took honey from cars and fed it to families with out telling them

Created riddle about what he had done and told to thirty men

Who ever got it got many clothes and his wife begged for the answer

His wife told her people, but did not reward the, for they cheated

Lesson: cheating does not end in good fortune

Judges 15

Damsons father did not think he liked his daughter, and tried to give him his other daughter

He was mad at the Palestines for ruining his relationship so he torched the town

In turn they burned his ex wife and his father

He vowed revenge, and Judah's men went to help the Palestines, but his strength broke the
ropes they used to tie him up

Killed all men with donkey jawbone

 God made water for him

Lesson: revenge is an ongoing circle made for death so it is not worth it

Judges 16

Samson of Gaza saw Propitiate and went to sleep with her

People found out he was in town and waited for him to appear so they could kill him

He was amazingly strong

He fell in love with a woman, Delilah, and people payed her to ask the secret of his strength

He lied to her three times, and when he was close to death, he told her

His strength came from his hair

She betrayed him and shaved his head, making him loose all strength

Philistinism, gouged out his eyes and captured him

His hair grew back, and while he was playing a fool in front of the plaid times, he called upon
his strength, pulling down the pillars, killing himself and many more

Mockery will beat someone

Being rude to someone will create a feeling so powerful it can take down anything

Samuel 17

Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together in the valley of Elah where they planned for
the battle against the Philistines

The Philistines and Israel were on opposite sides of the mountain with a valley in between

The champion of the camp of Philistine was Goliath of Gath

If Saul killed Goliath, then the Philistines would serve Israel, but if Goliath killed Saul, the Israel
will serve the Philistines

David told Philistine that he was a dog

And David told the Philistine that he would give him the flesh of the fowls and the beasts of the
air

Then David threw a stone that sunk into the head of the Philistine and David fell upon his face
to the earth

Then David took his sword and cut o the head of the Philistine, and when the Philistines saw
that their champion was dead, he ran away

solo mom let a pregnant lady stay in his home

This womans child died that night because she overlaid it

She got up in the night and took Solomons son and placed it next to her, replacing it with her
dead son

He woke up in the morning to feed his son and saw that he was dead, but then realized that it
was not his son

The woman denied that the dead boy was hers, so they took their children to the king

The king decided to cut the alive child in half and one person each half

Job 1

There was a man in the land of Uz named Job

He was a perfect and upright man, and he feared God

One day, the house fell down because of a huge wind

All of the children died

The Lord gave and the Lord had taken away

In all of this, Job did not sin, or charge job foolishly

Job 2

Again, the Lord asked Satan if he would consider his servant, Job

Satan answered and said skin for skin, yea by this he was asking if Job would give his life

Job then became Satans servant

Because they knew he was grieving, they sat with him for seven days and seven nights, but no
one spoke a word

Jonah 1

Jonah rose up to run from the Lord to Tarshish so he went to Joppa and found a boat to take
him there

A big wind was sent out to see to break the boat by the Lord

Then Jonah said I am Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the
sea and the dry land. (Jonah 1:9)

The sea was too rough for the men to bring the ship to shore

So they threw Jonah into the sea, which calmed it

Then the men oered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him

Then the Lord had a great fish swallow Jonah, and he was in his stomach for three days and
nights

Jonah 2

Jonah prayed to God to get him out of the fishs stomach

His prayer was granted after he had died

The Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah onto the dry land

Passage Matthew 1:18-25

 Then the Devil left him and angels came

Blessed are they that mourn: for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who fast: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven. "

You should not kill, those who kill because of judgement

If the right eye oends someone, pluck it out

If the right arm oends someone, cut it o

Take out anything that causes problems

Love your enemies

Bless the people that curse you

Be good to the people that hate you

Pray for the people that use you

Don't sin just because other people do you wrong

Matthew 6

The language that is used in this story is very dierent compared to common literature

Alms are money food or other donations given to the poor or needy

It is talking about giving to charity and reasons why you should

It also says that you must be humble about your good doings and you will be rewarded

Pray in secret and you will be rewarded openly

God knows the things that you need before you asked for them

It then says the Our Father prayer

You must forgive the people who have done you wrong and God will forgive your wrongdoings

But if you don't forgive you won't be forgiven

Don't worry about treasure on earth but about treasure in heaven

If your eye is impure so is your entire body but if you're eye is good so is your body

You can't serve more than two masters

Don't ask where you will eat or drink or be given clothes

Look for the kingdom of God and you shall get all these things

Matthew 7

Don't judge or you will be judged

Don't give your best to bad people

You will always be answered

If you're bad to give good gifts to your children

Do the things that you wish to receive in return

The path to destruction is easier to take than the route to a holy life

Watch out for people who will deceive you

A good person can only bring goodness with them

A bad person can only bring evil

A faithful person will receive a good home built on rock

An unfaithful person with get a home that is blow down

 A not smart person will build their house on sand

Matthew 10

Gave his disciples power against bad spirits, heal the sick, and cure diseases

They were told to preach to Israel speaking of heaven

He told them not to carry anything of value with them

Go by the rules of the city that you enter

He is basically telling them to spread the word of God

"I send you forth as a sheep in the midst of wolves: ye therefore wise as serpents, and
harmless as doves"- symbol

The Spirit of God will speak in you so don't worry about what you have to say

You will be hated by all men in Jesus's name but you must persevere because in the end you
will be rewarded

Runaway when they want to persecute you

Don't fear the things that will kill you physically but the things that will tell your soul and bound
you to hell

You have more value than sparrows?

The people who denied Jesus will also deny God

Jesus didn't come to some peace on earth

The people who value their family more than god are not worthy

You'll be rewarded for the sacrifices that you make for God

Passage Matthew 14:1-12

Matthew 14

When Herod the tetrarch heard about Jesus he told his servants that Jesus was John the
Baptist who had risen from the grave so he could show his works to him

At Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for him and he promised to give her
whatever she asked for

John was beheaded in prison

The disciples buried John and told Jesus of this

Passage Matthew 14:13-36

When Jesus heard of the death of John he went by ship and he was fold out of the city on foot

On his way he healed the sick that he felt compassion towards

To feed his followers he only had five loaves of bread and two fishes

He blessed the food and somehow it turned into enough for everyone to eat with 12 full
baskets left over

This amount fed about 5000 men

Jesus and his disciples's on a ship out to sea and went into a mountain to pray

The ship was being tossed in the waves so Jesus walked out to them on the water

The disciples feared him thinking that he was a spirit

To prove that he was Jesus he permitted Peter to walk on the water with him but Peter became
afraid and begin to sink when Jesus reached out and save him

When they arrived at Gennesaret all of the deceased were brought to him and he healed them

Matthew 26

Jesus told his disciples was that he would be betrayed and crucified after the two days of

Took the cup and said that this was the blood of the New Testament which is shed for the
forgiveness of sins

Jesus said that he would rise again and lead them into Galilee

They went to his place that he was going to die

betrayer

Jesus was arrested by the priest and others

All the disciples ran away

Jesus was led to Caiaphas the highest priest

The council that have been assembled falsely accuse Jesus of many things to put him to death

Jesus claimed that he could destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days

Peter had followed Jesus to the council and when asked if he knew Jesus denied everything

Peter remembered the words of Jesus saying something about denying him three times and
began to cry

Matthew 27

After Jesus was condemned to death they bound him and send him to Pontius Pilate

Was Judas realized what he had done he brought the priest back his money saying that he had
sinned against innocent blood

Just wanted them to revoke Jesus his punishment but they refused so he threw the silver that
he was given in the temple and went to go hang himself

When the chief priests and elders were accusing him of dierent things he did not answer to
anything

The chief outers asked Barabbas to destroy Jesus

The governor did not see what Jesus had done but fell to the pressure of his peers saying that
the blood was knocked on his hands for Jesus's death

The soldiers took Jesus into the common hole and put him in a scarlet robe

They put a crown of thorns on Jesus's head and mocked him

They spit on him and beat him with a reed

They put him back in his previous clothes and let him away to crucify him

A man named Simon was forced to carry his cross

They wrote THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS on his head

They continue to mock him

They said that if he was really the son of God he would come down o the cross

At the ninth hour Jesus asked God why he has been forsaken

The earth shook and everyone began to believe that he was truly the son of God

Jesus died and was put in his tomb

Jesus had claimed that after three days he would rise again so they sealed the stone and had
someone put on watch

Matthew 28

There was a great earthquake and an angel came and moved the Stone from in front of the
tomb and sat upon it

The guard was so terrified he became as dead men?

The angel told the women to go tell Jesus's disciples that he has risen

They spread a rumor that the Jews had come and collected Jesus's body

The disciples then went to the mountain where Jesus had a pointed them and worshiped him

But some of the disciples have doubts and he told them that all power was given to him on
heaven and earth

He told them to go on and spread their religion teaching the people what Jesus had taught the
disciples

Jesus then said that he will always be with you even to the end of the world

This section of the Bible was ended with Amen
