The Pentateuch

"The Pentateuch," which covers Genesis through Deuteronomy (the Five Books of Moses), is volume 1 of "The Living Legacy Survey Bible" (LLSB). The LLSB is a unique tool for enhanced personal Bible study. It was written by and designed for Bible-believing Christians. It is based on the conservative, literal Bible translation, the New American Standard Bible (NASB). The material should be read and studied with one's Bible open to the particular passage under consideration.



For each book of the Pentateuch, the LLSB first provides a brief, semi-technical introduction explaining key issues for understanding and defending the book as an historical, inspired, and inerrant revelation from God. These introductions cover issues relating to each book's: (1) Title; (2) Author and Date; (3) Purpose; (4) Importance; (5) Structure; and (6) Special Issues.



The "Notes" sections for each book of the Pentateuch surveys the key verses in those books. All the key verses essential for understanding the book and its role in the Christian faith are given clear analysis and exposition. This "Notes" section (the largest section for each book) is followed by an "Extended Note" section that gives even closer and more detailed study of especially difficult or more crucial passages.
