THE BIBLE SAYS IN GENESIS 1:26 THAT GOD CREATED MANKIND IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND THATHE

CREATED MANKIND TO BE MALE AND FEMALE. IN VERSE SEVEN OF CHAPTER TWO ADAM WAS

CREATED FROM THE DUST OF THE EARTH AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER IN VERSES 21-22 GOD MADE

ADAMS WIFE. WHEN GOD CREATED MAN BOTHTHE WOMAN AND THE MAN WERE ADULTS, BUTTHEY

WERE IGNORANT AND DID NOT YET KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LIFE OR RELATIONSHIPS OF ANY KIND.

THIS HOWEVER WAS NOT AHINDRANCE TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE ATTHIS POINT IN TIME

BOTH WERE INNOCENT, AND PERFECT, THEY HAD NOT SINNED YETAND THEREFORE DID NOTHAVE A

SIN NAT

AFT

IN CHAP

7, AND FAILED IN THE TEMPTATION, THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER CHANGED COMPLETELY.

"And I will make your descendants as the dust ofthe earth; so that if a man couldnumber the dust oftheearth,then your descendants also could be numbered" (verse 16). Significantly, God later changedAbram'sname to Abraham (Genesis 17:5). His earlier name meant"high (exalted) father." God renamedhim "father

of a multitude," saying,"I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shallcome from you"(verse 6).

Atthe time these prophecies musthave seemed ironic to Abraham, for his wife Sarah was barren. Herinfertility was to be very significant inthe development ofthe modern Middle East.

God promisedAbraham in Genesis 15:4 thathe wouldhave anheir: "one who will come from your ownbody." Impatient, SarahtoldAbraham to take her Egyptianhandmaid Hagar andto produce a child by her.This took place "after Abram haddweltten years inthe land of Canaan"(Genesis 16:1-3). Fourteen yearsafter the birth of Ishmael, God blessedAbraham with another son,this time by his wife Sarah. He toldthemto name their son Isaac (meaning"laughter" for the incredulous reactionthey had whentoldthey wouldhave a son attheir advanced age as well as the joy thathe would later bringto his parents,Genesis 17:17,19; 18:10-15; 21:5-6)

Genesis 6:1 - 9:17 God saw how great wickedness had become and decided to wipe mankind from the face of the earth.

However, one righteous man among all the people of that time, Noah, found favor in God's eyes. With very specific

instructions, God told Noah to build an ark for him and his family in preparation for a catastrophic flood that would destroyevery living thing on earth.

God also instructed Noah to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, along with every kind of food to

be stored as food forthe animals and his family while on the ark. Noah obeyed everything God commanded him to do.After they entered the ark, rain fell on the earth for a period of forty days and nights. The waters flooded the earth for a

hundred and fifty days, and every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out. As the waters receded, the ark came

to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Noah and his family continued to wait for almost eight more months while the surface of

the earth dried out.

Finally after an entire year, God invited Noah to come out of the ark. Immediately, he built an altar and worshiped the Lord

with burnt offerings from some of the clean animals. God was pleased with the offerings and promised never again todestroy all the living creatures as he had just done. Later God established a covenant with Noah: "Never again will there be

a flood to destroy the earth." As a sign of this everlasting covenant God set a rainbow in the clouds.


5/37

And Abel also came and brought from the consecrated best of his herd and of his fatlings, and the Lord

was pleased with Abel and his offering.

And with Cain and his offering, He was not pleased, and it really bothered Cain and his face turned sour.

And the Lord said to Cain, "Why did it upset you? And why did your face turn sour?

"Behold, if you glorify me, you shall be accepted, and if you do not, your evil lord* awaits you at the gate

of sin; you will turn to him and he shall have authority over you."

And Cain said to Abel his brother, "We are better off outside,"* and while they were in the field, Cain rose

up against Abel his brother and killed him.

And the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" And he said to Him, "I do not know; why, am I

my brother's guard?"

And the Lord said to him, "What did you do? The blood* of your brother is crying out from the earth.

"Henceforth you are cursed by the earth that opened its mouth and received the blood of your brother

from your hands."As you work the earth, it will not flourish and give you its yield; you shall be a wanderer and a nomad on

the earth.GENESIS 4:5 -14

Moses inhis basket

When Moses was bornthe Hebrews were slaves in

Egypt. Pharaoh was afraid ofthem because hethoughtthey mighttake over his country. He orderedthat all Hebrew baby boys be killed at birth so that

they wouldnot grow up and fight againsthim. To saveMoses his mother made a plan. She hidhim in a

basket by the side ofthe River Nile.

Moses' sister Miriam watched over him until

Pharaoh's daughter came to the river to wash. She

found Moses inhis basket. Miriam toldher she

knew a woman who could be a nurse for the baby.

It was his mother. Pharaoh's daughter took him

back to live withher as thoughhe were her son.

Moses grew up as an Egyptian prince, buthe neverforgothe was a Hebrew. One day Moses losthis

temper and killed an Egyptian who had beaten aHebrew slave to death. He hadto run away to anotherland. God spoke to him from a burning bush andtoldhim he must go back and free the Hebrews from

slavery.


10/37

Moses wentto Pharaohto ask him to setthe Hebrews free.

Pharaohdidnot wantto lose his slaves. He wouldnot letthem go, because they worked onhis grand buildings. Awfulthings beganto happen in Egypt. There were ten plagues.Before each one, Moses had warned Pharaoh what wouldhappen. Moses toldhim the disasters had been sent by

God.


11/37

The last plague was the worst. The eldest son inevery Egyptian family, including Pharaoh's,died.Godhad warned Moses to mark the doorposts ofall Hebrew houses so that Hebrew boys would besafe. Pharaoh was so upset by losinghis sonthat

he saidthe Hebrews could leave Egypt.


12/37

The Hebrews knew they must leave Egypt quickly. Theyneeded foodto take withthem. There was no time toletthe bread rise before it was cooked. They hadtotake the dough as it was. Pharaoh changedhis mind

again and senthis army after them to bringthem

back.


13/37

Partingthe Red Sea

The army chasedthe Hebrews to the banks ofthe Red Sea. They wouldhave beentrapped

but a miracle happened. Godtold Moses to lift up his rod and as he did so the waters

partedto make a dry path. They were able to make their escape.

15/37

Eventhoughthe Hebrews were free,they were still inthe desert. Theywantedto find a land called Canaan which Godhad promisedthem.The journey was long andthey soon ran out of food. They were veryhungry and blamed Moses for takingthem out of Egypt. Moses told

them that God would give them food.

17/37

After three months oftravellingthe Hebrews came tothe foot of Mount Sinai. God called Moses to meethim onthe mountain. As he climbedthere was

thunder and lightning. Whenhe was up the mountainGod gave Moses ten laws whichtoldthe people how

to live.


18/37

These Ten Commandments were written ontwo

tablets of stone. Moses stayed so long onthe

mountainthatthe people waiting atthe foot ofthe

mountain grew angry. They decidedto make

another God for themselves. It was a golden calf.


19/37

When Moses returnedhe was shockedto see the

people dancing and worshippingthe golden calf. Hebroke the tablets Godhad givenhim anddestroyed

the golden calf. God forgave his people forworshippingthe statue andtold Moses to cuttwo

more tablets of stone.

Moses replies to Korah: "Hear now, you sons of Levi: is ittoo small a thingfor you thatthe God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of

Israel,to bring you near to himself,to do service inthe tabernacle oftheLORD, andto stand before the congregationto minister to them; andthathe has brought you near him, and all your brethrenthe sons of Levi withyou? And would you seek the priesthood also? Therefore it is againstthe

LORD that you and all your company have gatheredtogether; what isAaronthat you murmur againsthim?"(Num 16-8-10)
