09_The Fifteen Periods of Bible History (The Patriarchal Period Part 2)

The Bible can be divided into 15 periods of Bible History. Recognizing these divisions is helpful for organizing the Bible chronologically in the mind and relating the various books to one another. The third of these 15 Periods is called the Patriarchal Period, or the Period of the Fathers of Israel. This period extends from the call of Abraham to leave Ur of the Chaldees to the Death of Joseph (Genesis 11:31-50:26).
