Books of the Bible -Worksheets Library - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a list of Bible books and need to sort them into the correct categories:

Categories:
1. Books of the Law (5 books)
2. Books of Poetry (5 books)
3. Books of History (12 books)
4. Major Prophets (5 books)
5. Minor Prophets (12 books)

First, let’s recall what each category means:

- Books of the Law = First 5 books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.
- Books of Poetry = Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon.
- Books of History = Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther.
- Major Prophets = Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel.
- Minor Prophets = Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi.

Now, let’s go through the list provided in the image and assign each book to its correct category.
