In the context of the Bible, "mentions" refer to the instances where specific people, places, events, or concepts are referenced throughout the Scriptures. These mentions can provide insight into the significance and role of these elements within the biblical narrative and theology.

People:

1. Abraham · Abraham is frequently mentioned as the patriarch of the Israelites and a model of faith. His account begins in Genesis 12, where God calls him to leave his homeland and promises to make him a great nation. Abraham's faith is highlighted in Hebrews 11:8-12, where he is commended for obeying God's call and believing in His promises.

2. Moses · Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, mentioned extensively from Exodus through Deuteronomy. He is known for leading the Israelites out of Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. In the New Testament, Moses is mentioned in Acts 7:20-44, where Stephen recounts his life and leadership.

3. David · King David is a prominent figure in the Bible, known for his heart for God and his role as the second king of Israel. His life is detailed in 1 Samuel 16 through 1 Kings 2. David is also mentioned in the New Testament, particularly in Matthew 1:1, which traces Jesus' genealogy back to him.

Places:

1. Jerusalem · Jerusalem is a city of great significance, mentioned numerous times throughout the Bible. It is the site of the Temple and the center of Jewish worship. In the New Testament, Jerusalem is the location of key events in Jesus' life, including His crucifixion and resurrection (Matthew 16:21).

2. Bethlehem · Bethlehem is mentioned as the birthplace of Jesus in Matthew 2:1. It is also the city of David, linking Jesus to the Davidic line, fulfilling the prophecy of the Messiah's lineage.

3. Mount Sinai · Mentioned in Exodus 19, Mount Sinai is where Moses received the Law from God. It is a place of divine revelation and covenant, symbolizing God's holiness and His relationship with Israel.

Events:

1. Creation · The creation of the world is described in Genesis 1-2. This foundational event is referenced throughout the Bible, emphasizing God's sovereignty and power. In John 1:3, the New Testament reaffirms that all things were made through Christ.

2. The Exodus · The Exodus is a pivotal event in Israel's history, where God delivers His people from slavery in Egypt. This event is recounted in Exodus 12-14 and is frequently mentioned as a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness (Deuteronomy 6:21-23).

3. The Resurrection · The resurrection of Jesus is a cornerstone of Christian faith, mentioned in all four Gospels and extensively in the epistles. In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Paul emphasizes its importance, stating that Christ's resurrection is central to the gospel message.

Concepts:

1. Faith · Faith is a recurring theme in the Bible, defined in Hebrews 11:1 as "the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see." It is exemplified by numerous biblical figures and is essential for salvation (Ephesians 2:8).

2. Covenant · The concept of covenant is central to the biblical narrative, representing the agreements between God and His people. Key covenants include those with Noah (Genesis 9), Abraham (Genesis 15), and the New Covenant through Christ (Luke 22:20).

3. Salvation · Salvation is a core biblical concept, referring to deliverance from sin and its consequences. It is achieved through faith in Jesus Christ, as stated in Romans 10:9-10, where belief in Christ's resurrection and confession of Him as Lord leads to salvation.

These mentions throughout the Bible serve to weave a cohesive narrative that underscores God's plan for humanity, His interactions with His people, and the fulfillment of His promises through Jesus Christ.
