BIBLE: Josiah and Daniel

NOTEBOOK CHECKS MONDAY! TEST GRADE!

We've been learning about Josiah and his restoration of the temple of God.

On Monday, we will be creating a scroll with the verse from II Kings 22:19 which sums up Josiah's character.
Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse and be laid waste—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the LORD.


But during this project we will be writing the verse backwards. The Hebrew language is read and written backwards compared to English.  We'll also try some of the practices of Old Testament scribes. Every time they wrote God's name, they would throw out their writing utensil and wash their hands. These practices  were out of their reverence for the holiness of God.

Tuesday, we will take some time to finish our scrolls and review for your TEST over Josiah Repairs the Temple on Wednesday.

Wednesday, Test over Josiah

Thursday, we begin our lesson on Daniel Serves in Nebuchadnezzar's Court. We will be reading from our reading cards and completing the worksheet that goes along with it.

Friday, we'll be completing the worksheet: Project 1 - Bible Reading. After reading Daniel 2, we will be able to complete the outline.
