The Book of Genesis
Genesis, the first book of the Bible, provides an account of the origins of the world, humanity, and the people of Israel. It begins with the creation of the universe in six days and the formation of Adam and Eve. The early chapters describe the fall of humankind through disobedience, leading to consequences such as exile from Eden, the first murder (Cain and Abel), and the corruption that results in a global flood. Noah and his family survive the flood, and humanity repopulates the earth.
The book then shifts focus to Abraham, whom God calls to be the father of a great nation. God makes a covenant with him, promising land and descendants. Abraham’s descendants, Isaac and Jacob (later named Israel), continue the story. Jacob’s twelve sons form the twelve tribes of Israel, and one of them, Joseph, is sold into slavery but rises to power in Egypt. A famine brings Jacob’s family to Egypt, setting the stage for the events of Exodus. Genesis establishes key theological and historical themes, including covenant, divine promises, and human responsibility.
