Chronological Order

I think sometimes the wordiness of the old testement gets us confused so i decided to try and abbreviate the things we generally highlight through the Exodus.

Creation
Adam and Eve
expelled from the garden
Cain and Able
Noah and the flood
Abrah and Sari- Abraham and Sarah
Hagar - Ishmael
Sarah - Issac
Issac and Rebeka
Jacob and Esau (Jacob gets the blessing)
Jacob has 12 sons - youngest being Joseph
Joseph gets sold to Egypt
becomes adviser to the king
when Jacob dies, Joseph brings his family into Egypt (about 70)
350 years later a new Pharoh (unaware of Joseph) decides to enslave the Hebrews in fear of a revolt
Murder of the boy infants
Moses, escape, grows up in palace, goes into wilderness, burning bush, exodus
40 years in wilderness
10 commandments
then we come up to Leviticus

so that is my overview of Genesis and Exodus covering the main stories, but sometimes we get confused of how they all relate to each other

God Bless,
