Week Two: Forty Years in the Wilderness
1. Lesson Pages from Supplemental Materials:
· From Adam to Us: p. 121-124 (additional activities for these pages are in the accompanying Map Book and Student Workbook)
2. Study material for family discussion (older students can
read on their own, parents can read and summarize for younger students):
Exodus 15-20, 26-28, 32
Numbers 11-14, 22 (balaam and the donkey)
Deuteronomy 20:17-18, Deuteronomy 34
Joshua 6
1 Nephi 17:41, Helaman 8:14-15
For this lesson, summarize different stories that happened during the 40 years and in the first years of Joshua’s leadership.
3. Attention Getter: Ask the students to list as many
of the ten commandments as they can. Then help them learn them quickly with the
tricks on this page: http://www.myblessedhome.net/2009/11/fun-way-to-memorize-the-ten-commandments/
4. Videos:

5. Mapping: Study Map 2 in the LDS version of the King
James Bible (In the Gospel Library app it is under Scriptures>Study
Helps>Bible Maps>2. Israel’s Exodus from Egypt and Entry into Canaan). Also
Map 3 shows how Israel is divided up amongst the tribes once they conquer the
land under Joshua.
6. Worksheets: There are several good activities on

Each part of
the Tabernacle represents Christ and a way to get to Christ, with several
layers of symbolism. Here are the most basic meanings. As a pattern of how to
return to God’s presence, the gate could be repentance and baptism, as spoken
of in Nephi 31. The altar represents Christ’s Atonement, the only way to be
saved. The laver is continued cleansing, which we do through continued
repentance. Then the light of the Spirit shines over us from the lampstand as
we feast on the words of Christ, or scriptures, at the table. The incense
represents our prayers, and finally we get past the veil. In the Holy of Holies is the Ark of the Covenant, representing coming into the presence of Christ, and the covenants we make. Prayers and pondering
will help reveal more and deeper meanings to you.
