wandering the desert, the people who disobeyed God by not going over to the promised land died. This was the time that God let the new generation cross over in the Promised Land to Canaan. This was the covenant that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob many years before. Deuteronomy 27-30 states, that there are blessing for obedience and curses for disobedience. God will also bless the land for crops, the livestock with great herds and flocks, and wherever they may go, they will be blessed.

With the start of recorded storytelling in The Epic of Gilgamesh societies have defined themselves through their writings. Their beliefs, what they hold in high esteem, and what they regard as evil or barbaric, all of it is contained within the stories they’ve told. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the first, telling of the king of Uruk from around 2100 BCE, in Mesopotamia. Later the first two books of the Old Testament, Genesis and Exodus, are presumed to have been written around 600 BCE near Babylon. Then

passage that tells the story of Joseph and a movie that portrays the story of Joseph. The Biblical passage of Joseph is in Genesis. Its starts in Genesis chapter 37 and ends in chapter 46. This is the story of Joseph and his brothers, the sons of Jacob. The movie that I have chosen is called Joseph: King of Dreams. This movie was directed by Rob LaDuca and Robert Ramirez and, it was released in the year 2000. I chose this animated movie because it closely retails the story of Joseph, and it is adapted

The two major themes of Genesis 12-50 are “be fruitful and multiply” and “fill the earth.” These two themes are first stated in Genesis 1:28, but recur many times throughout Genesis, especially with Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac’s son Jacob. One challenge Abraham faces in regards to the blessing of progeny is his wife’s, Sarah’s, barrenness. This barrenness is a fact of her existence. (Brown, 309) At first Sarah gives Abraham one of her slaves, Hagar, in order for him to have a child. (Gen.

Prior to this passage, Jacob moved his family to this region in Canaan and bought land from Hamor, instead of remaining with Esau and kinfolk (Gen 33:18). Now in a land known to worship false gods, Jacob and his family are vulnerable and separated from a community of likeminded practitioners. When Genesis 34 begins, we learn the lineage of Dinah as Leah’s daughter with Jacob (Gen 34:1). Biblical genealogy is important to establishing identity as it “expresses idealized understandings of families

The women in Homer’s Iliad and the women in Genesis both exhibit the accepted societal values in a woman through their duties as wives, which typically consists of obedience and the ability to sustain their husband’s lineage. Rebekah and Andromache both assume their roles as wives, but sometimes act in ways outside of what was considered normal in their society. Though both Rebekah and Andromache maintain the classic role of a wife, they occasionally contradict the expectations of how a woman should

At an early point in history, The Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Genesis were two texts that set the framework of the entire world. They were two epics that established the foundations of religion, literature, and all other standards that were followed by every category of people. Both texts entice the audience through antique language, and the stories of epic heroes and immortal gods. Sin-Leqi-Unninni and the many writers of the Bible use love as their central theme, yet it unfolds as having

Genesis could be broken down into two sections: Chapters 1-11 (God & the World) and 12-50 (God & Abraham’s Family). What hinges the two parts together is contained in chapter 12, assisting us in understanding the message as a whole and introducing to the rest of the bible. Genesis 1-4:16: Here we begin where everything is darkness and disordered, however; God puts everything into order, creating a world where life can thrive. He finally creates Adam and Eve (A&E) in His image, which He meant

The concept of land in the Old Testament is of extreme importance and constantly mentioned throughout the various books in the scripture. It is quite shocking the way we view land today compared to the way that it is explained by God in the scripture. While man may have various misconceptions about land, even about how land is portrayed in the Old Testament, it is God who dictates to man regarding this subject. Three important facets of land that are portrayed in the Old Testament are that land is
