Could someone please help me with a school assignment I'm doing?

Sure i would be glad to help!
well Moses wrote alot of the old testment books.The old testment was before Hesus came to earth.Genesis is t he creation of mankind and the earth and exodus has to do with the ten commanments,(i think).
i hope this helped!

Wow, what are you studying at school that you would need notes for the Old Testament? It sounds like an interesting class!

Well, I know it is the Hebrew Bible (the Torah), and Jewish people read it also. The stories written in it were either saved throughout time, written, told to others, or written on walls (I'm pretty sure).

As the others have said, Moses wrote the first five books of the bible. They are reffered to as the Torah,(the Law) and the Pentatuech.
The Old Testament can be divided into 3 sections, History, Wisdom and the Major & Minor Prophets.
King David is credited with Pagsulat a majority of the Psalms. His son Solomon wrote Proverbs, Ecclesiates and the Song of Solomon.
The book of Job is considered to be the oldest book in the O.T.
I'm not sure what other information you need, and my Bible is not handy to check footnotes.
God Bless
Also the O.T. describes creation, the fall of man and God's plan to redeem him. The promise of a great nation to Abraham and God's working with his
people to prepare them for the coming of Messiah, Jesus.
