Review of Pentateuch/Torah Mrs. Kenny January 2013 Religion 9
Genesis • Teaches about the origins of the people of Israel
Exodus • How God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and made the Covenant of Sinai with them
Leviticus • Shows the great concern that the Jews held for reverent worship and holiness
Numbers • The journey with the Israelites through the wilderness in search of the PL • full of greed, rebellion and jealousy
Deuteronomy • Insight into the essential spirit of Judaism = wholehearted love for God • Last book of the Pentateuch • Israelites brought to the brink of the PL • Joshua is next chosen leader after Moses
