In the Hebrew Bible we begin with the story of creation,
followed by the flood and tower of babel (Genesis 1-11 is called theological narrative),
continue with the story of the Patriarchs/Matriarchs (Abraham, Sarah) who follow Yahweh who leads them out of Ur and into the promised land,
the people eventually end up in Egypt (what part does Joseph play),
Moses leads them in the Exodus into the promised land
They wander for 40 years
They settle in the land (do they conquer or dwell in the land-Joshua main leader) the story of the judges and then kings (united and divided kingdom)
and the conquering of the land through the Assyrians (North) and Babylonians (South).
The people later come back into the land (periods known as pre-exilic, exilic and post-exilic) and rebuild the Temple, the Wall of Jerusalem and reclaim the Torah.
We have the writings of the prophets (Major and the scroll of 12 –minor). We also have the writings of Ruth and Naomi and others that teach about Yahweh’s relationship with the people in different ways.
