Abraham’s Covenant • Covenant = an agreement between God and people • Abraham agreed to move to Canaan and worship the one true God, and in return Yahweh promised that his descendants would be safe and prosper • This is why Canaan is referred to as the “Promised Land”

Moses • The Hebrews fled Egypt under the leadership of Moses • This event is called “ The Exodus” • Moses was commanded by god to lead his people out of Egypt

The Promised Land (Part 2) • After wandering in the wilderness, the Hebrews returned to Canaan • Canaan wasn’t empty! • Phoenicians • Philistines

The Hebrew Kingdom • Split into two – Israel and Judah • Over Solomon’s taxes • Israel conquered by Assyrians, Judah conquered by the Babylonians
