The Old Testament for Seventh Graders (in Four Weeks!) 3

The Covenant With Israel - Exodus-Deuteronomy
Exodus: God with His People – Israel grew up as slaves in Egypt and Moses was raised up by the LORD to deliver God’s people from Egypt.  God makes His presence known in the midst of His people in the desert and makes an everlasting covenant with them. (Exodus 33) MOUNTAIN   
Leviticus: The Holiness of God and His People – The LORD God made His people holy, because He is holy.  (Holiness means they are separate from uncleaness and disobedience and separated to God Himself and love for others). (Leviticus 16; 19:1; 26:46) GOAT 
Numbers: Judgment and Hope for Israel – Israel was judged for constantly not trusting God as they should have and so they would not receive the promises they had been given, but their children would.  The next generation would also be tested so the hope is held out for those who settled in the land.  Would they be like their parents?  Or would they trust the LORD?  (Numbers 14:26-45) SNAKE-ON-A-STICK
Deuteronomy: Renewal of the Covenant – Israel needed to know exactly how they were to live once they had actually entered the land of the covenant. (Deuteronomy 6) ONE

For the first and second installments: 1, 2
