The Old Testament forms a translated (from the Hebrew) account of the people Israel, the Jewish nation; the texts telling of the various trials and tribulations as they--the Jewish People--moved from creation to slavery to exile to Eretez Israel and on into exile and slavery and back again in the end, to Jerusalem. Writers of the Old Testament (said originally to have been Moses for the first five books) sometimes outline the wicked acts committed by, specifically, those who disobeyed God and committed crimes against the law of Moses and were inevitably seen to suffer punishment for worship of alien gods, acts of adultery and other sins against the tradition. Sources describe many such men in the Old Testament, named and identified by their role in acts of darkness and actions against rabbinic doctrine as it was understood in such books as Leviticus and others.
