The Author of the Pentateuch

• Although the Pentateuch does not directly name
  its author in all its books, it is proven that
  Moses is the author. This prove is through
  internal and external evidence

8
The Author of the Pentateuch

• Internal Evidence such as
• It is clear that the author must have been an
  eyewitness of most of the events.
• The Author is an educated man
• It is stated several times in different books
  that God inspired Moses with these books
• Some books clearly claimed that Moses wrote them
• Geographical and historical details indicate a
  firsthand knowledge.

9
The Author of the Pentateuch

• External Evidence such as
• A uniform ancient testimony
• Other biblical writers attribute the Pentateuch
  to Moses
• The Testimony of Jesus
• Jewish and Samaritan traditions consistently hold
  to the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch.

10
The Time of Genesis

• Genesis spans more time than any other book in
  the Bible in fact, it covers more than all the
  other books of the Bible put together.

From Creation, 4000 B.C. or earlier to Death of
Joseph 1804 B.C.
11
The Time of Exodus

• Exodus was written during the 40 year wilderness
  journey, between 1445 B.C. and 1405 B.C.
• Exodus covers the period from the arrival of
  Jacob in Egypt to the building of the tabernacle
  431 years later. (1875 B.C. 1445 B.C.)

12
The Time of Leviticus

• No geographical movement takes place in
  Leviticus. Israel remains camping at the foot of
  Mount Sinai.
• Leviticus starts after the completion of the
  tabernacle. That is one year after Passover

13
The Time of Numbers

• Numbers stretches over almost thirty nine years.
• It records Israels movement from the last twenty
  days at mount Sinai (11 1011), the wandering
  around Kadesh Barnea, and finally the arrival in
  the plains of Moab in the fortieth year.

14
The Time of Deuteronomy

• Like Leviticus, Deuteronomy does not progress
  historically.
• Deuteronomy takes place entirely on the plains of
  Moab, east of Jordan River and Jericho
• It covers about one month and it was written at
  the end of the forty-year period in the
  wilderness (1405 B.C.)

15
Keys to Genesis

• Key Word Beginnings Genesis gives the
  beginning of almost everything, the universe,
  life, man, Sabbath, death, marriage, sin,
  redemption, family, art, cities, language, and
  sacrifice.

16
Keys to Exodus

• Key Word Redemption Israel was redeemed from
  bondage in Egypt and into a covenant relationship
  with God. Exodus records Gods overwhelming acts
  of deliverance, by which He demonstrates His
  right to be Israels King.
• The salvation of Israel through blood (the
  Passover) and through power (the Red Sea). The
  Exodus is the central event of the Old Testament
  as the Cross is of the New Testament.

17
Keys to Leviticus

• Key Word Holiness Leviticus centers on the
  concept of the holiness of God and how an unholy
  people can acceptably approach Him and then
  remain in continued relationship with Him. The
  way to God is only through blood sacrifice, and
  the walk with God is only through obedience to
  His laws.
• make atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you
  may be clean from all your sins before the Lord
  (1630)

18
Keys to Numbers

• Key Word Wanderings Numbers records the
  failure of Israel to believe in the promise of
  God and the resulting judgment of wandering in
  the wilderness for 40 years.
• Key Verses Numbers 1422, 23 2012

19
Keys to Deuteronomy

• Key Word Covenant The primary theme of the
  entire Book of Deuteronomy is the renewal of the
  covenant. Originally established at Mount Sinai,
  the covenant is enlarged and renewed on the
  plains of Moab.

  become the people of the Lord your God (279)
