OT102: Timeline and Map Project Instructions Jeremy D. Little CDI Spring 2018

Overall Instructions Options: Timeline Project or Map Project You can do both projects or pick just one, but you will receive the same credit either way I recommend that you do both as they both will greatly enrich your Bible knowledge

Timeline Instructions Use the excel spreadsheet that I provided or work by hand to fill out the dates There are 2 tabs on the spreadsheet with the timelines 2 Timelines “Adam to the Patriarchs” and “Moses to Nehemiah” The first timeline will use Anno Mundi dates The second timeline will use B.C. dates Anno Mundi begins at the creation of Adam, so his first year is also 1 A.M. (Anno Mundi) Your numbers can be within 10 years of what I have (they will likely be within 1 year or the same)

Adam to the Patriarchs I have provided you with all the Bible references to make it easier I have provided you with the first 3 generations so you can see how it is done There is also a KEY to help you understand how to do this exercise Fill in all of the dates using the NASB numbers, do not use the LXX as it has different numbers We will use Anno Mundo since the LXX and the Hebrew (NASB) numbers do not agree The LXX has an additional 1400+ years in the genealogies

Moses to Nehemiah I have provided you with all of the Bible references and other materials I am providing you with 2 key dates that most scholars agree on I Kings 6:1 is the key to the Exodus date Fill out the B.C. year for each event Many of these numbers will be easy to figure out if you have any aptitude for math

Map Project Instructions Use the blank maps to label the specified locations (nations, rivers, & seas) 2 Maps are provided with 2 different lists The first map is from the Mediterranean to modern day Iran The second map is for Israel and the surrounding area For the 2nd map: Please write their familial relationship with Israel if they have one (Cousins or Brothers) You can print them out and draw on them or use “Paint” or some other computer program Use Bible maps to find the places, but please label them on the map provided to maximize your retention
