PREFATORY NOTE

IMPee-El-ZI

The late Bishop of Bath and Wells took great interest in the projected series of Text-books of Religious Instruction, and consented to write the volume on the Pentateuch. Having finished Genesis and Exodus, he was advised, on the ground of failing health, to spare himself this addition to his other work, and the Rev. Charles Hole undertook the completion of the volunie.

In order that this volume may be of the utmost use to the student, he should first read over the portion of Scripture to be considered; then read it again with the notes; look out and carefully consider the illustrative texts referred to. In many cases the notes contain brief hints and suggestions intended to start the student on lines of independent thought.
