The first section of the Bible is called the Pentateuch or the Law consisting of the first five books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
The section of the Bible consists of 12 books called the Histories. They are:
-- Joshua
-- Judges
-- Ruth
-- 1 Samuel
-- 2 Samuel
-- 1 Kings
-- 2 Kings
-- 1 Chronicles
-- 2 Chronicles
-- Ezra
-- Nehemiah
-- Esther
These books are easy to understand because they are all connected in continuing the history of Israel.
You will find that some information is duplicated, especially in the two-part books.
Remember, the Old Testament has 39 books. If a student completed the 5 books of the Law and these 12 books, he will be well on the way to completing half of the Old Testament.
