The feasts and festivals celebrated in Bible times were occasions full of joy and remembrance. It’s important to know when, how and why these were celebrated.

In this download, you will receive a simple calendar illustrating the Jewish calendar and how the Gregorian calendar overlaps it. You will also receive information on 13 feasts and festivals, identifying the name/names of the Jewish event. When it is celebrated on the Gregorian calendar, and a description of the event and its purpose.

After these, you will receive blank copies of the handouts that can be used in a classroom, Bible study and more.

Here is a creative way to teach the Life of Joseph from Genesis 37-50.

I have included teaching notes, introductory ideas, illustrations and worksheets that are both completed and left blank for the class to fill in. I have used New International Version (NIV) of the Bible in these lessons but the worksheets can be adapted to other versions.

There have been studies conducted on the human brain that show that when someone associates a number or sequence of numbers with events, they have better recall with them than without them.

It is in consideration of these studies that a helpful tool for pastors, Bible teachers, small group or Bible study leaders is a guide of numbers that connect with events in Jesus’ life and times. I have included a chart of numbers that connect with these events, along with corresponding references in the Bible where this information is revealed. Included are 22 sets of numbers.
