Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy can be intimidating books for some. With lengthy genealogies, lists of laws, and stories both inspiring and heartbreaking, it's hard to know how these texts apply to our present lives. This devotional provides plain understanding of the Bible and shows what the Scriptures of the Torah mean for how God calls us to live.
