The Israelites were of an agrarian culture. They lived off and depended upon the land. Because of this, much of their faith in God was based upon the principles of planting and reaping. An understanding of the plants mentioned in the Bible will open your eyes to the truths stated within the pages of both the Old Testament and New.

In this download, you will receive charts of 29 plants in Bible Times. This download will provide you with a picture of these plants, where the plant could be found in relationship to the Israelites, along with information on why they were important and where they are mentioned in the Bible.

Following these filled in charts, you will receive copies that have blanks that can be filled in as you go through them. This is perfect for a Bible class, Sunday school, Bible study or small group.

When everyone is finished, you can use the included answer sheets to go over the quizzes and see how everyone did. When I have used this in my Bible classes, there has been much speculation and some surprises when the answers are revealed. This activity would work on the high school aged students and older.
