* The second period was the House of Israel's sojourn in Egypt for about 400 years. This period began well under the leadership of Joseph, but over time conditions deteriorated until, by the end of this period, Israel was reduced to slavery. The forty-year transition from this period to the next, as Israel wandered in the wilderness, is recounted in Exodus - Deuteronomy.

* The third period of about another 350 years was Israel’s possession of Canaan under Joshua and the judges. The center of worship during this period was the portable Tabernacle built after leaving Egypt. This period also began well for a generation under the leadership of Joshua as recounted in the book of '''[[Joshua]]'''. But this initial good start was followed by a long period of decline in both righteousness and circumstances as recounted in the book of '''[[Judges]]'''.

* The fourth period of yet another 450 years was Israel’s continued possession under the monarchy that began with Saul and ended with the Babylonian Captivity. The center of worship during this time was the First Jerusalem Temple built by Solomon. This period also began well for two generations under Saul and David as recounted in the book of '''[[Samuel]]'''. This initial resurgence was again followed by a long period of decline as recounted in the book of '''[[Kings]]''' until Israel was conquered by Assyria and Babylon.
