You’ve made your way through the Pentateuch now, and have developed a sense of the story that it conveys. In this exercise, take some time to reflect on how each of the books in the Pentateuch are connected to those adjacent to it by addressing the conclusion of one book and how it relates to the following book. So, for instance, discuss the ending of Genesis (chapter 50) and the beginning to Exodus (chapter 1). You may address broader themes, but you will need to pay specific attention precisely to the chapters where the two books meet. The exercise is an attempt to get us to think about connectivity from one book the next that goes beyond simple ordering.

one credible source to support the information presented in the blog. Also be sure to include
references for any graphic material that is not your own original work. For assistance with
