Bible passage analysis
Select a passage (5-10 lines) from the Hebrew Bible that is of interest to you. You can select any passage
covered from Exodus thereafter (NOT Genesis).
Analyze the passage
with careful attention to the specific language of the text. Identify one or two major themes and explain how
these themes are handled in your chosen passage. How are different characters portrayed? What words or
phrases particularly strike you as revealing something interesting about the mindset of the author or a
character? The best papers will be clearly written and will create a structure in which the transition from one
point to the next seems logical and coherent.
