Please read the following articles:Ī survey of the Old Testament is a worthwhile and spiritually-enriching endeavor. The word "old" tends to give the idea of "outdated" or "not-relevant." That could not be further from the truth. Perhaps a better title would be the First Testament. The prophetic books are God's call to Israel to repent from its idolatry and unfaithfulness and to return to a relationship of obedience and spiritual fidelity. The poetic books give us a more intimate look at God's relationship with Israel and His passion for Israel to worship and obey Him. The historical books record Israel's history, its victories and successes along with its defeats and failures. The Pentateuch deals with the creation of Israel and God establishing a covenant relationship with Israel. The Old Testament deals primarily with the relationship between God and the nation of Israel. The Old Testament was written primarily in Hebrew, with a few small sections written in Aramaic (essentially a variation of Hebrew). The Old Testament was written from approximately 1400 B.C. The Old Testament is divided into five sections: the Pentateuch (Genesis through Deuteronomy), the historical books (Joshua through Esther), the poetic books (Job through Song of Solomon), the Major Prophets (Isaiah through Daniel), and the Minor Prophets (Hosea through Malachi).
