Moses was born and taken in by
Pharaoh's daughter as a baby even
though he was an israelite
He grew up and
killed an Egyptian
soldier for beating
an Israelite slave.
He fled Egypt to
Midian and was
there until God
spoke to him in a
burning bush. God
told Mosses to go
back to Egypt and
tell Pharaoh to let
his people go.
Moses did
as he was
told, and
Pharoah's
heart kept
hardening.
Every time Pharaoh said no, God sent a plague
until the tenth one, he sent an angel to kill every
firstborn Egyptian son.
Pharaoh finally let the people go,
but chased them as they left. God
did a miracle to help them get
away with the Red Sea.
Moses was to lead the people on a trek to the
Promised land
3. noah & the flood
God saw the world
was wicked, and he
wanted to wipe it
out.
The only righteous person
was Noah and his family. So
God told Noah to build an
ark and fill it with two of
every animal as well as his
family.
Everyone thought Noah was crazy and ridiculed him.
Soon after, God sent rain for 40 days and 40 nights. This rain flooded the entire
earth, but Noah, his family, and the animals were safe in the ark.
After the rain ended,
Noah sent a bird out to
find land. On the third
try, the bird didn't
come back. They all
safely got to land.
God showed a rainbow as a
promise to never destroy the
earth by water again.
5. jacob/israel
Jacob was the second son of
Isaac and Rebekah. He was a
mama's boy.
Jacob was making stew one day when his
older brother Esau came in famished. He
begged Jacob for the stew, and Jacob said
he could have the stew if Esau gave Jacob
his birthright. In the moment, Esau
agrees.
Jacob and Rebekah deceive isaac into giving Jacob Esau's
blessing. When Esau and Isaac found out, Jacob had to flee
to his uncle Laban's house.
While at Laban's he met Rachel. He told Laban he
wanted to marry Rachel, and he worked for Laban for
seven years to complete this. When the seven years
ended, Laban deceived Jacob and gave him his other
daughter Leah.
Jacob fled Laban's home and had
livestock and the girls with their
servants
Jacob worked twelve more
years in order to also
marry Rachel. Now they
were sister wives. The
women ended up
competing to have kids
because they both wanted
Jacob's love. Leah
technically won, but Jacob
always loved Rachel and
the two sons she gave
more.
Jacob went and met up with Esau and they made up

waters and sky

6. joseph
Joseph is Jacob's favorite son, and
it's made obvious when Jacob
gives him a coat of many colors.
Then Joseph had dreams about
his brothers bowing down to him.
The other brothers
were extremely
jealous of Joseph
and ended up
selling him into
slavery.
He ended up working for Potiphar until
his wife tried to seduce Joseph. He
declined, and she cried rape. Joseph got
sent to jail.
While in jail, Joseph met a cup bearer and a baker. Joseph interpreted
both their dreams and they came to pass.The King had dreams , and no
one could interpret them. Eventually, the cupbearer remembered about
Joseph. Joseph interpreted the King's dream that there would be seven
years of plenty and seven years of famine, and he became second in
command.
During the famine, Joseph's brothers needed food and came to Joseph, but they
didn't recognize him. Joseph did, and he was overjoyed to see them again. He
waited tot tell them to see if they would betray Benjamin, Joseph's only other blood brother.
The brothers didn't betray Benjamin and stuck for him through Joseph's test. Joseph revealed himself. He wept and hugged his brothers.
Joseph moved his whole family to Goshen.
2.the fall
God made Adam and
Eve and they lived in
the Garden of Eden
God told them to take
care of the land
around them and not
eat from the Tree of
Knowledge of Good
and Evil or they will
surely die
The serpent told Eve she wouldn't
die. In fact, she'd become smarter
like God.
Eve was deceived, and she ate of the fruit with Adam.
They realized they were
naked and covered
themselves. When God
came looking for them
they hid and blamed their
sins on other things and
people.
Because they
disobeyed God, sin
entered the world,
and God kicked
them out of the
garden with
multiple
consequences.
8. mt sinai and the
giving of the law
God called Moses up to
Mount Sinai.
He kept Moses there for days
explaining the law while the
Israelites kept up what God
said.
God gave the Ten Commandments on tablets.
“You shall have no other gods
before[a] me. 4 “You shall not
make for yourself an image in
the form of anything in heaven
above or on the earth beneath
or in the waters below. 5 You
shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I, the Lord
your God, am a jealous God,
punishing the children for the
sin of the parents to the third
and fourth generation of those
who hate me, 6 but showing love
to a thousand generations of
those who love me and keep my
commandments.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of the
Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold
anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 8
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it
holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all
your work, 10 but the seventh day is a
sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you
shall not do any work, neither you, nor your
son or daughter, nor your male or female
servant, nor your animals, nor any
foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in
six days the Lord made the heavens and
the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
but he rested on the seventh day.
Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day
and made it holy.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that
you may live long in the land the Lord your God is
giving you. 13 “You shall not murder. 14 “You shall
not commit adultery. 15 “You shall not steal. 16
“You shall not give false testimony against your
neighbor. 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s
house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife,
or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey,
or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
4. abraham
abram was a faithful man. He up
and left his country because God
told him to.
God makes a covenant with
Abram that he will be
rewarded and become the
father of many nations, but
Abram has no kids and is very
old.
God tells Sarai and Abram that
they will have a child, and they
laugh because they are both in
their nineties.
Eventually, Sarai gets pregnant
when Abram is 99 years olf.
They name the child Isaac
meaning laughter.
Again, God makes promises to
Abram, who God changed to
Abraham, about his descendants
and giving Abraham land and
how blessed he will be. But
there's a catch. God tells
Abraham to sacrifice his only son
Isaac.
Because Abraham is faithful
to God, he makes the plans
to do o, and just as he is
about to kill his son, a ram is
found in the bushes and God
rewards Abraham for being a
good and faithful servant.
