Abdiel Everett · Answer 1

False.

Explanation:

The first five books of the Bible are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. While the history of the creation is detailed in the book Genesis, Exodus talks of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and their journey to the wilderness, which is continued in the book of Leviticus. Numbers details the journey of the Israelites from Mount Sinai but before their occupation of the land of Canaan. Deuteronomy continues this journey, while at the same time ending in the death of Moses, the leader of the Israelites. The death of Moses heralds the beginning of the leadership of Joshua over the people, as ordained by Moses under the instructions of God.

Thus, it is false that the first five books of the Bible trace the history from creation to the death of Joshua. Rather, it traces the history of creation till the death of Moses.
