Pentateuch or Law

The five books of the Pentateuch are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. These books are also sometimes called the Books of Moses.

Genesis

Genesis includes the creation narrative, a succession of fall stories, Covenants, stories of the Patriarchs (Abraham, Issac, and Jacob), and of Joseph.

The Pentateuch Content Quiz will include questions covering the creation, fall stories, covenants, and some basic content questions such as who said "Am I my brother's keeper?" or "Did God actually say, 'You shall not eat of any tree in the garden'?"

Covenants

There are three Covenants in Genesis. The phrase Adamic Covenant often includes two covenants referred to as Edenic Covenant (Gen 1:26-30, 2: 16-17) and the Adamic Covenant (Gen 3:16-19). Together these covenants show God's intended grace and the consequences of sin. The Noahic Covenant (Gen 9) with its Rainbow sign, is a one sided covenant between God and humanity that God would not seek to destroy all life again. The Abrahamic Convenant is found in Genesis 12:1-3, 6-7; 13:14-17; 15; 17:1-14; 22:15-18, following the last of the fall stories. God promises Abraham land, to be father of many descendants, and to be a blessing to the nations.
