Later on, Adam got his first son Cain then his second Abel, but Cain killed his brother Abel and became a criminal and a murderer. And God gave Adam, Seth as a replacement for Abel. Thus two nations rose, the descendants of Cain the murderer, that is the descendants of men, and the descendants of Seth, which the book describes as the sons of God. Then men began to multiply, and the two nations intermingled and mixed together. And evil grew so great on earth, that God chose Noah and his family as the selected chosen good people of earth, and he saved them by means of Noah's ark. Yet all the sinners together with all that flied or crawled or walked upon the surface of the earth (all the dinosaurs and others) were destroyed by the great flood. Nothing was saved except those who boarded the ark. Then God made a promise that no new great flood shall ever take place on earth again. And to

( 3 )

confirm his intention, God made the rainbow as a sign and a reminder of this promise.

Men (the descendants of Noah) were blessed by God who said to them, "Multiply, grow and fill the earth." But instead of filling the earth and dispersing all over it, they started to build a tower in land of Shinar that they may not get lost or scattered. So God confused them and made them speak different languages to scatter them all over the surface of the earth.

Once again evil grew so great on earth. But the promise that was made by God could not be broken, so instead of bringing about a new great flood, God choose Abram and his barren wife Sarai and got them out of their ancestor's land and brought them to the land of Palestine (The Promised Land).

God promises Abram that he will bless him with countless descendants. But after some time doubt enters Sarai's hart and when her doubt became a full sin, she started to put doubt in Abram's heart. So she asked him to sleep with her maid Hagar, in order to help God to bring about his promise and make it come true. So he got his first son, the son of the flesh Ishmael from Hagar. And after thirteen years God appears again to Abram and promises that he will give Abram a son from his wife Sarai, and sets a fixed date for that. God also makes with Abram and his descendants a covenant and asks that every male should be circumcised as a sign in the flesh indicating the inclusion of the person in the covenant with God. Abraham got later on his second son Isaac from Sara. And though it displeased Abraham but Sara insisted and God intervened, so the son of the flesh and his mother Hagar were casted out in order to separate the son of

( 4 )

the promise from the son of the flesh, who began to persecute his brother. And God promised Abraham saying:

The descendants of the promise multiplied and became twelve grand fathers of Israel together with their tribes, and the descendants of the son of the flesh also multiplied and became twelve princes and their tribes. And not like Adam's sons and their descendants, here the two descendants those of the son of the promise and those of the son of the flesh did not intermingled and intermix because of the separation that took place. So the son of flesh Ishmael lived in the wilderness of Paran, and the descendants of the promise went down to Egypt for the sake of food and became later on the slaves of the Pharaoh of Egypt. Here God intervened and asked Moses from the midst of the flames of the burning bush to lead the descendants of the promise out of the land of Egypt and the slavery of the Pharaoh. God delivered heavy plagues upon the Pharaoh and his people. Then the descendants of the promise were delivered across the split waters of the Red Sea on dry land, yet all the Egyptians together with their chariots and horsemen were drowned in the sea.

In the wilderness of Sinai and on top of the mountain God gave his people the Law and the Ten Commandments, and asked Moses to make the Ark of Covenant similar to that that Moses saw up the mountain. And when the faith of the descendants of the promise decreased and they began to doubt God's promise, that he will give them the possession of the Promised Land, so God became furious and made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, to be but a symbol for the future wandering of the symbolic chosen people of God in the wilderness of the Law.

All the circumcised generation who fell under God's wrath fell and died in the wilderness and no one of them was allowed to enter the symbolic Promised Land except for the two believers, Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. And because of the mistake committed by Moses and his brother Aaron at the waters of Meribah (The Rock), they were not allowed to enter the symbolic Promised Land and as a result they died outside it. Then Joshua the son of Nun took lead of the symbolic chosen people of God and took them on dry land across the river Jordan, which was split through a godly miracle. Then Joshua circumcised the people of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth (The hill of the foreskins). Joshua then sets the twelve stones that were taken from the midst of the river Jordan from the very place where the priests feet stood as a memorial in the Gilgal.

Later on Jericho was given into Joshua's hands. God ordered him, that a procession should march around the city once a day for six days then seven times on the seventh day. The procession order was that all the men of war went first followed by seven priests bearing seven trumpets followed by the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord followed by the rear guards who carried drinking water for the procession. The walls of the city miraculously fell after the last procession and the city was destroyed and burned, and all its inhabitance were killed. But the Israelites were absolutely forbidden and prevented from taking any spoils out of the city. No one from Jericho was saved except Rahab the harlot and all those who were in her house.

Joshua engaged war with the five kings of the Amorites who were given into his hands. Then God intervened and took part in the war and threw down great hailstones on the enemies of Israel, and stopped the sun over Giboeon and the moon over Aijalon as was requested by Joshua who wanted to take vengeance on the enemies of Israel. The kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon fled and hid themselves

in a cave at Makkedah. Later they were brought out of the cave and the chiefs of war were told to put their feet upon their necks before they were killed. Joshua also made war with the kings of Hazor, Madon, Shimron, Ach Shaph and the kings who were in the notheren hill countries and in Arabah south of Chinneroth and in the lowland, and in Nephothdor on the west, to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites and the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites a great army in numbers like the sand of the seashore. Joshua smote them all that no one remained, he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire. Finally the war ended and the land had peace.
