1 The Book of Genesis Book 02 (Chapters 27-52) A study using 18 questions per chapter The purpose of this study is to find out What the Bible says. THE WORD FOR THE WORLD STUDIES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT by Bill DeLaughter

2 Bill DeLaughter P.O. Box 193 Crown Point, Indiana U.S.A. Web Site It is Bill's desire that it be made available to anyone and everyone to be used by them for their further understanding of What The Bible Says. It can be copied and duplicated by anyone for local Bible Studies. However it is not to be sold commercially for a profit. But permission is hereby granted for it to be printed and sold for a price slightly above the actual cost of printing, no more. This study may also be translated into any language where it can be useful under the conditions listed above. INSTRUCTIONS I can only suggest how this study was originally conducted and it was very successful. First of all, we tried to arrange a very informal atmosphere with the folks sitting in a loose circle. We would begin the session by having tea, or cokes and an informal time of fellowship. Then we would have a prayer time with everyone suggesting names of those for whom we should pray. It was also mentioned each session that we expected that each individual have at least one person for whom they would agree to pray for in regards to that person s salvation. To actually begin the study the entire chapter would be read aloud with each one willing to read, taking the number of verses and dividing it by the number of people present and each one reading a portion. Then the first one on the left (a habit of mine) would begin by reading the first question and giving their answer. The verse where their answer was found must also be given. Then the leader asks if everybody agrees. Let discussion carry on as necessary but not too long. Then go to the next question and the next person until all of the fifteen questions are answered. For the discussion questions (numbers ) each person present should give their answer once again going from the first one on the left and so on. Answer one question at a time, with each person present giving their reasons for their answer to each question. Discussion can be long or short depending on how the group feels. Do not carry the class session on too long. Encourage each one to prepare his answers BEFORE the session begins if at all possible only because they will get more out of the discussion if they have thought about it. INTRODUCTION The word Genesis means beginnings. So this book is concerned about the beginning of many things such as the beginning of the universe, the beginning of mankind, the beginning of sin, the beginning of the promises of God and his plan of salvation. It also depicts the beginning of the special relationship between the special people he chose as his own. This is the first book in what is called the Pentateuch which means five books, meaning the first five books of the Bible. These five books are also known as The Books of the Law. They were probably written by Moses with the exception of the last chapter of Deuteronomy which tells about his death. These books tell how Israel became the people of God.
