From Genesis 15 through the end of Judges, about 1000 years are covered. That is 217 chapters of the Bible. That is a lot of history and a lot of reading. If you wanted to get the Cliffs Notes version of that section of the Scripture, you can't do better than these two Psalms. As you can see from our additional reading today, these two chapters cover the exodus of the Hebrew people relatively thoroughly. There are nods to all the significant events from God's covenant with Abraham to the ruling Judges that will lead Israel for nearly 350 years. Once again, you don't need to memorize these chapters to appreciate them, but knowing where to find them and what they talk about is helpful. If you find yourself in a teaching position within your church family, these two chapters are a great resource to introduce and summarize a lengthy chunk of the Old Testament. Of course, it is always great to know the details, but these two chapters certainly save some time.
