throughout the Genesis and a little bit of exodus and they are a lot easier to understand than when I first read them. I think I’ve grown in understanding the bible and analyzing what is important while also enjoying the readings to think about what the meaning. I think what is still a bit difficult for me to understand is what I learned about the bible when I was younger and then what happened that is almost totally different then what I was taught. For example, the story about Noah’s and how it was not

2017 Judaism Jewish people were living in the land of Canaan, the promised land, which is located somewhere between today’s Israel and Lebanon lands, under Abraham who was the most respected person for Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
