Old Testament Bible Reading Plan

This Old Testament Bible reading plan is a simple weekly guide that helps you read the entire Old Testament from beginning to end in 6 months. The readings follow the same order the books appear in the Bible, so you can easily follow along from Genesis through Malachi.

Start on any day that works for you. Sundays are rest days if you are to follow this plan. Each week includes seven readings, giving you the flexibility to read one set of chapters each day or create a schedule that fits your routine—morning, afternoon, or evening.
