Abstract: Exploring the Physical and Historical Context of the Old Testament Scriptures" provides a comprehensive exploration of the crucial role geography plays in understanding the narratives of the Bible. Spanning from ancient Near Eastern regions like Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Syria/Palestine, the study illuminates how these environments shaped the lives of biblical figures and the development of ancient civilizations. Key geographical elements such as fertile river valleys, strategic locations, and cultural exchanges with neighboring powers are examined, offering insights into the historical and cultural backdrop against which biblical events unfolded. By delving into these contexts, the abstract underscores how understanding biblical geography enriches appreciation of the Bible's timeless truths and spiritual messages, demonstrating the inseparable link between physical landscapes and divine narrative.
