Essays about a book, person, and setting/place from the Old Testament
general article writing
Description
I have to write three, 200-250 word essays. One each about a place, person, and book of the old testament. Each essay is supposed to be like a dictionary entry to describe the topic. I'm having a hard time coming up with an outline/essay for each. I need help writing about Gehenna, the place. The person Ezra. And the book in the Old Testament- Judges.
