Old Testament Bible Reading Plan (With Printable PDF)

You can pick any day to begin this Old Testament Bible study plan and read through this section of the Bible in a year. Each week contains a set of seven readings. This structure allows you to assign each set of Bible chapters to a specific day of the week (Sunday through Saturday) or to make a personalized plan for how to fit the chapters into your weekly schedule (e.g., mornings, afternoons, or evenings).

Below, you’ll find these resources:
